X = 2
A square has 4 sides. To get the perimeter of a square, you could multiply the length of one side by 4.
One side of the larger triangle is x inches plus an additional 8 inches, which can be written as (x+8)
To get the perimeter of the larger square, multiply the expression (x+8) by 4. The question states the larger square’s perimeter is 40 inches.
You end up with this equation: 4(x + 8) = 40
To solve first distribution 4 into (x + 8).
4x + 32 = 40 | subtract 32 from both sides
4x = 8 | divide each side by 4
x = 2 inches
So the side length of the original square is 2 inches. To check your work, go back and plug x = 2 into the original equation. 8 in + 2 in = 10 inches, and 10 inches x 4 = 40 inches, so x = 2 is the solution
n points would divide a given line into n+1 segments.
Just assume that you have a line and you added a point to that line, this point would divide your line into two segments.
If you add two points to a line, these two points would divide your line into three segments.
So the number of segments is always greater that the number of points by 1.
Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 0 for x and 3/5 for y into the expression
-4(0) + 5(3/5) - 14
Multiply the numbers inside the parentheses
0 + 3 - 14
3 - 14 = -11, which is your answer
30 = -5(m+6) + m
30 = -5m - 30 + m
0 = -4m
0 = m
