X=original length of each side of the square.
perimeter: sum of all sides=4(length of the side)
The length of each side of the new square will be= (x-2)
we can suggest this equation:

4(x-2)=48

We solve this equation:
4(x-2)=48
4x-8=48
4x=48+8
4x=56
x=56/4
x=14

Answer: the original length of each side of the square would be 14 in.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

There are 24 different trip possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the first thing we need to find is all the individual events, such that each event (or selection) will have a given number of options.

The first event is the selection of the location.

Here the options are: Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, or Los Angeles (4 options)

The second event is the selection of how you go there.

The options are flying or driving (2 options)

The third event is the selection of how many days you will stay there. The options are 3 days, 4 days, and 5 days (3 options).

The total number of different trip possibilities is equal to the product between the number of options for each event.

P = 4*2*3 = 24

There are 24 different trip possibilities.
