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. >

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

0.35 pounds in each cheesecake

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of individual blueberry cheesecakes = 15

Pounds of blueberries = 5 1/4 pounds

How many pounds of blueberries will be in each cheesecake if 5 1/4 pounds of blueberries are divided equally among them?

= 5 1/4 ÷ 15

= 21/4 ÷ 15

= 21/4 × 1/15

= (21*1)/(4*15)

= 21/60 pounds

Equivalent to 0.35 pounds in each cheesecake

You have a coupon for $5 off your total bill at Mama's Meals on Main a. How much will you pay after using the coupon if your bil
HACTEHA [7]

Answer :

(a) Amount paid after using the coupon = $b - $5 = $(b-5)

(b) Amount paid = $23.45 - $5 = $(23.45-5) = $18.45

Amount paid = $54.83- $5 = $(54.83-5) = $49.83

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Amount of coupon = $5

If amount of total bill = $b

Now we have to calculate the amount paid after using the coupon.

Amount paid after using the coupon = Total amount of bill - Amount of coupon

Amount paid after using the coupon = $b - $5 = $(b-5)

Now we have to calculate the amount paid if bill was $23.45.

Amount paid after using the coupon = Total amount of bill - Amount of coupon

Amount paid = $23.45 - $5 = $(23.45-5) = $18.45

Now we have to calculate the amount paid if bill was $54.83.

Amount paid after using the coupon = Total amount of bill - Amount of coupon

Amount paid = $54.83- $5 = $(54.83-5) = $49.83
