Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< A square has 4 sides that are all always equal to each other. The perimeter is all the sides summed up together. That means (for example), if one side of the square is 2 cm, then we know that the perimeter is 8 cm, because 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 (or 2×4=8).

Here we are given that one side is equal to "x-5". Pretend that is a number and solve as I did just right above:

(x-5)×4 = 4x -20

Now we know that the perimeter is (4x-20) units (when you don't know what the units are then just put "units").

We also know that the perimeter can be a number which is 24. That means these two values are equal to each other.

4x-20 = 24

Now solve! Bring x to one side, and all the numbers to the other side.

4x = 44

x = 11

We now know that the value of one side of the square (x) is equal to 11 units. >

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = -2x + 4

2x + y = 4

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                                                                                                  2x + (-2x + 4) = 4
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                         4 = 4

Here we see that 4 does indeed equal 4.

∴ the systems of equations has an infinite amount of solutions.

azamat

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of algebra problems. Then the number of geometry problems was 27-x and the total working time was ...

  2x +5(27 -x) = 90

  -3x = 90 -135 . . . . subtract 135

  x = -45/-3 = 15 . . . divide by -3

Rob had 15 algebra problems for homework.
