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.

Radha is trying to choose between two bike rental companies, Company A and Company B.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Part A. After 7 hours the amount charged will be the same

Part B. The cost of renting the bike for that many hours (7) will be 60$.

Step-by-step explanation:

5h + 25 = 6h + 18

5h - 6h = 18 - 25

-h = -7

h = -7/-1

h = 7

Company A.

y = 5h + 25

y = (5*7) + 25

y = 35 + 25

y = 60

Company B.

y = 6h + 18

y = (6*7) + 18

y = 42 + 18

y = 60

the constant of proportionality is always the point_______, where k is the constant of proportionality. Additionally, you can fi

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables say x and y are proportional let us assume y dependent variable and x independent variable

then we have y =kx

Here k is called the constant of proportionality.

Whenever x increases/decreases by 1 unit, the y value also increases/decreases by k units.

Whenever x=1, y =k

and always $\frac{y}{x} =k$

Thus we can fill up as

the constant of proportionality is always the point___(1.k)____, where k is the constant of proportionality. Additionally, you can find the constant of proportionality by finding the ratio of___y to x____, for any point on the___graph of the function.___.

Leonardo wrote an equation that has an infinite number of solutions. One of the terms in Leonardo’s equation is missing, as show

Lady bird [3.3K]

Let us suppose missing term is y

so it becomes - ( x-1) + 5 = 2 ( x+3) - y

let us now try solving it for x ( in terms of y )

-x + 1 + 5 = = 2x + 6 - y

-x + 6 = 2x + 6 -y

6 + y = 2x + 6 +x

y = 3x

y / 3 = x

but x is given to be infinite . let us try placing y= the given options

x= x/3 which is not possible

x= 3x/3 which is giving valid statement

x= 1/3 which is a finite value

x= 5/3 again a finite value

so it is only y= 3x which could be the answer

Answer : option second that is 3x
