I did the box method and my answer was 64x2 x_sqaured minus 16
Answer:
A.) x-y=2 and x+2y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
For option A, we have:
x-y=2
x+2y=-2
Subtract the first equation from the second, to get:
2y--y=-2-2
This implies that:
2y+y=-2-2
Simplify to get:
3y=-4
Divide both sides by 3 to get:

We substitute y=-1.3 into the first equation to get:
x--1.3=2
x+1.3=2
x=2-1.3
x=0.7
The solution is (0.7,-1.3), which is approximately (0.7, -1.4)
By inspection, all the other factors have solutions not close to (0.7, -1.4)
Let, snake catches the mouse in t hours. Till then mouse is travelling from
( t + 1.5 ) hours.
Distance, travelled by mouse in t hours is,
.
To catch the mouse snake had to travel the same distance d in t hours.
So,

Therefore, snake will catch mouse in 1.5 hours.
Area of a square quilt = 289 square inches
Area of a smaller square quilt = 121 square inches
Area of a square = a²
Side length of big square quilt = √289 in² = 17 inches
side length of small square quilt = √121 in² = 11 inches
Perimeter of big square = 17 inches * 4 = 68 inches
perimeter of small square = 11 inches * 4 = 44 inches
difference = 68 inches - 44 inches = 24 inches.
96% of 25 is 24 hope this helps
