6 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a represent side length of larger square.
We know that area of square is square of its side length, so area of the larger square will be
.
The area of smaller square would be
.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.



Cross multiply:



Take square root:


Since the length cannot be negative, therefore, the side length of larger square is 6 inches.
5= (6+4)x
5= 10x
5= 10x then divide by 10 to get the variable by itself
__ ___
10 10
.5 = x you can use .5 or 1/2
hope this helps!

The steps matter on the size of the number.
Y=40x+100 and the second question is y=1.69x
5 is the difference.
