Let x be the smaller sheet.
Smaller sheet = x
Larger sheet = x + 3

Area of the smaller sheet = x²
Area of the larger sheet = (x + 3)²

The difference is 81 in²
(x + 3)² - x² = 81
x² + 6x + 9 - x² = 81
6x + 9 = 81
6x = 72
x = 12 inches

Answer: The edge of the smaller square is 12 inches.

Write the polynomial which represents the perimeter of a triangle whose sides are represented
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The polynomial is 10x^2 + 10x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the polynomial which represents the perimeter, what we need to do is to add up all

these values. We use the formula for finding the perimeter of a triangle and that involves adding up all the three sides. That would be;

2x^2 + 3x + 5x^2 -1 + 3x^2 + 7x -1

10x^2 + 3x -1 + 7x -1

10x^2 + 10x -2

qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number be y

y doubled = y×2=2y

2y increases by 3 = 2y+3=

2y +3 is more than 6 but less than 20

2y+3 > 6

2y+3< 20

Solve for y

2y>6-3

y>3/2

2y+3<20

2y<20-3

2y<17

y<17/2
