The original side length was 12m therefore the perimeter was 36m. 12/4 is 3 so the perimeter is now 9, and the difference between them is 27.
There were 16 states added.
Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine,
Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, and California
Y=kx
12=-4k
k = -3
so when y = 15
y = kx
15 = -3x
x = -5
----------------
$50 / 0.04 = $1250 (4% interest)
so
1250 * 0.06 = $75
answer
interest $75 at 6%
-----------------------------
y = kx
1/4 = 4k
k = 1/16
when x = 5
y = kx
y = 1/16(5)
y = 5/16
-----------
y = kx
-5 = 4k
k = -5/4
direct equation
y = -5/4x
The standard form is 5x-6y=16
