Answer:

The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is

P = 4s where s is the side length

P = 4( 3x+2)

P = 12x+8

We know P = 14x-2

14x-2 = 12x+8

Subtract 12x from each side

14x-2 -12x = 12x+8-12x

2x -2 = 8

Add 2 to each side

2x-2 +2 = 8+2

2x= 10

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 5

The side  is 3x+2

                 3*5+2

                  15+2

                   17

The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft

When 0.5(20x – 50y + 36) – 0.25(–100x + 40y – 12) is simplified, what is the resulting expression?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<h2>35x - 35y + 21</h2>

solution,

0.5(20x - 50y + 36) - 0.25( - 100x + 40y - 12) \\  = 10x - 25y + 18  + 25x - 10y + 3 \\

Combine the like terms:

= 10x + 25x - 25y - 10y + 18 + 3 \\

Simplify:

35x - 35y + 21

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
