Let x be the length of one side of the smaller square
Let y be the length of one side of the larger square
4x would be the perimeter of the smaller square, as it has 4 sides
Therefore 4x = y + 10, as the perimeter of the smaller square is 10 inches bigger than one side of the larger square.
We're going to solve this question using simultaneous equations. This means we need another equation to compare the first one to.
Since we know that one side of the larger square is 2 inches bigger than the first one, we can make the equation
y = x + 2
Know that we know the value of y in terms of x, we can introduce this value to the original equation to find:
4x = (x + 2) + 10
Therefore:
4x = x + 12
3x = 12
x = 4
Now that we know the size of the sides on the smaller square, we can figure out the size of the larger square by using our second equation (y = x + 2)
y = 4 + 2
y = 6
Therefore, the length of each side of the larger square is<u> B.6</u>

jan has a 12-ounce milkshake.Four ounces in the milkshake are vanilla,and the rest is chocolate.What are two equivalent fraction
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

In this item, we are given that out of 12 ounces of ingredients comprising the milkshake, there are 4 ounces vanilla. Expressing this into fraction will give us an answer of 4/12. This fraction can be one of the answers. Since we are asked for two fractions, we can simplify 4/12 such that we get an equivalent fraction that is equal to 2/6. Hence, the answers to this question are 4/12 and 2/6.

G(x) equals what? PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Nonamiya [84]
G(x) is an absolute value function. The standard form for an absolute value function is f(x) = |x|.

The slope of this is equal to -6/-4 or 3/2.

It is flipped over the x-axis, so it will have a negative value out front.

g(x) = -3/2|x| is the equation for this graph.

Find the first five terms of the sequence given the following recursive formula:
forsale [732]

Answer:

The first five terms are;

-3,-7,11,-29,69

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive definition of the sequence is

a_1=-3,, a_2=-7 and a_n=a_{n-2}-2a_{n-1}.

When n=3, we obtain;

a_3=a_{3-2}-2a_{3-1}.

\implies a_3=a_{1}-2a_{2}.

\implies a_3=-3-2(-7).

\implies a_3=11.

When n=4

\implies a_4=a_{2}-2a_{3}.

\implies a_4=-7-2(11)=-29.

When n=5

\implies a_5=a_{3}-2a_{4}.

\implies a_4=11-2(-29)=69.

Therefore the first five terms are;

-3,-7,11,-29,69
