Answer:

In a square, all sides are equal. This means that each side is 3x inches in length.

The sum of the sides is 48 inches

There are 4 sides in a square.

3x + 3x + 3x + 3x = 48

<em>12x = 48</em> ----> is the equation

This means that x = 4

Each side is 3x inches in length, hence each side is also 3(4) which is 12 inches or 1 feet.

Reason abstractly. Are all horizontal lines parallel? Use slope<br> explain how you know.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

All horizontal lines are NOT parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

We learned that lines go on forever.

If one line is slightly slanted, and the other line is completely straight, these lines are not parallel, as they will meet at some point.

Hope this helped :)

alekssr [168]

Answer:

1680 kwhr

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached for explanation. I converted watt*hr to kW*hr by dividing by 1000.

Fans Bulbs

40 100

50 60 W

10 6 hours/day

20000 36000 W*hr/day

30 30 days/month

600000 1080000 W*hr/month

600 1080 kWhr/month

Total = 1680 kWhr/month

What two numbers add to 9 and multiply to -70

Alborosie

X, y - the numbers

The numbers add to 9 and multiply to -70.
$x+y=9 \\
xy=-70 \\ \\
y=9-x \\
xy=-70 \\ \\
\hbox{substitute 9-x for y in the second equation:} \\
x(9-x)=-70 \\
9x-x^2=-70 \\
-x^2+9x+70=0 \\
-x^2+14x-5x+70=0 \\
-x(x-14)-5(x-14)=0 \\
(-x-5)(x-14)=0 \\
-x-5=0 \ \lor \ x-14=0 \\
x=-5 \ \lor \ x=14 \\ \\
y=9-x \\
y=9-(-5) \ \lor \ y=9-14 \\
y=14 \ \lor \ y=-5 \\ \\
(x,y)=(-5,14) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(14,-5)$

The numbers are -5 and 14.
