Let x be the length of one side of the smaller square
Let y be the length of one side of the larger square
4x would be the perimeter of the smaller square, as it has 4 sides
Therefore 4x = y + 10, as the perimeter of the smaller square is 10 inches bigger than one side of the larger square.
We're going to solve this question using simultaneous equations. This means we need another equation to compare the first one to.
Since we know that one side of the larger square is 2 inches bigger than the first one, we can make the equation
y = x + 2
Know that we know the value of y in terms of x, we can introduce this value to the original equation to find:
4x = (x + 2) + 10
Therefore:
4x = x + 12
3x = 12
x = 4
Now that we know the size of the sides on the smaller square, we can figure out the size of the larger square by using our second equation (y = x + 2)
y = 4 + 2
y = 6
Therefore, the length of each side of the larger square is<u> B.6</u>
Answer:
36 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
60 / 5 = 12
12 x 3 = 36

The possible ordered pairs to solve this system are (8, 14) and (6, -12).
To solve this, use the second equation, which is already solved for y and put it in for y in the first equation. From that you will simplify and solve for 0 to get:
-x^2 + 14x - 48 = 0
Factor this and solve to get the possible x values as 8 and 6. Then use them in either equation to find the appropriate values for y.
