Since each side is 12 inches, then multiply 12 by 4 since it's a square and has 4 sides which makes 48.
48 is bigger than 36, so therefore, Troy does not have enough ribbon.

No he doesn't ahve enough ribbon to go any d the square shaped flag because the square has 4 sides that are each 12 inches long. 12 x 4 is equal to 48. So, the 36 inches of ribbon that he has isn't enough. He needs about 12 more inches.

What is the value of x (x+2)(x-3)=0

wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = 3 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0

Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 3 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 3 or x = -2

<u /> $x^{2} = 196$

this can be solved by square rooting 196

$x = \sqrt{196}$

x = 14

Write an equation of the line shown. Then use the equation to find the value of x when y=112

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

$y = 8x + 16$

$x = 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points on the line (0, 16) and (3, 40), an equation for the line can be written using the slope-intercept line equation which takes the format $y = mx + b$ .

Where,

$m = slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

b = y-intercept or the point at which the line cuts the y-axis.

Let's find slope (m) using the slope formula:

Let,

$(0, 16) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(3, 40) = (x_2, y_2)$

$slope (m) = \frac{40 - 16}{3 - 0}$

$slope (m) = \frac{24}{3}$

$slope (m) = 8$

Find b. Substitute the values of x = 0, y = 16, and m = 8 in the slope-intercept formula to find b.

$y = mx + b$

$16 = 8(0) + b$

$16 = 0 + b$

$16 = b$

$b = 16$

Plug in the values of m and b into the slope-intercept formula to get the equation of the line.

$y = mx + b$

$y = 8x + 16$

Let's use the equation to find x when y = 112.

$y = 8x + 16$

Substitute y = 112 in the equation

$112 = 8x + 16$

$112 - 16 = 8x$

$96 = 8x$

Divide both sides by 8

$12 = x$

$x = 12$

A sequence starts from -2. The term to term rule is 'square and subtract 3' find the first six numbers of the sequence

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The first six numbers are $-2,1,-2,1,-2,1$

Step-by-step explanation:

First term is $-2$

The term to term rule is 'square and subtract $3$ '

Second term $=(-2)^{2} -3=1$

Third term $=(1)^{2} -3=-2$

Fourth term $=(-2)^{2} -3=1$

Fifth term $=(1)^{2} -3=-2$

Sixth term $=(-2)^{2} -3=1$

The first six numbers are $-2,1,-2,1,-2,1$
