It is 15 meters long on each side.
You find the square root of 225 which is 15, because when you multiply 15 by 15 you get 225.
Let's call the unknown amount of money <em>x</em>
Betty spend 5/12 of her money (5/12)x and had 42 dollars left. Translated,
Solving,
Answer: $72
Answer:
x = 3
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The method of substitution is when one solves an equation for one of the variables, and then substitutes the expression into the other equation. After doing so, one will solve the other equation for the remaining variable and then backsolve for the first variable.
4x + 2y = 12
x = y + 3
The second equation is already sovled for parameter (x), subttiute this into the other equation,
4(y + 3) + 2y = 12
Distribute,
4y + 12 + 2y = 12
Simplify,
6y + 12 = 12
Inverse operations,
6y + 12 = 12
-12
6y = 0
/6
y = 0
Backsolve for (x), substitute the value of (y) into the equation for (x) and solve,
x = y + 3
x = 0 + 3
x = 3
