The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square is given by:

Perimeter = 4 * side

Let x be the original length of each side of square

So

decreasing 2 inch will mean

x-2

Perimeter of square after reducing 2 inches from each side

4(x-2) = 49\\4x-8 = 49\\4x = 49+8\\4x = 57\\\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{57}{4}\\x = 14.25

So,

The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

Note that

x^2 - y^2 = (x - y) (x + y)

and

x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = (x + y)^2

Then their LCM is \boxed{x + y}.

PLEASE HELP! I know the top part I just need the bottom!
Zolol [24]

slope  = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

        = (70-52)/(8-1)

    = 18/7

=2.6

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-52 = 2.6(x-1)

distribute

y-52 = 2.6x-2.6

add 52 to each side

y = 2.6x+49.4

y = 2.6x +49


the initial temperature is 49.4 or about 49

and it increases about 2.6 degrees each week
