Answer:

The length of side of original square is: 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of side of original square

Then x+5 will be the side of new square

Th formula for perimeter is:

P = 4*side

As we know the perimeter of the new square we can use the perimeter to find the value of x

100 = 4 * (x+5)\\100 = 4x+20\\4x = 100-20\\4x = 80\\\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{80}{4}\\x = 20

The value of x is 20 inches.

Hence,

The length of side of original square is: 20 inches

What are the x-intercepts and the y-intercepts of the graph of 12x−3y=36
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x −3y=36  ⇔ 3y = 12x - 36

                          y = 4x - 12

y = 0 ⇔ 4x - 12 = 0 ⇔ 4x = 12 ⇔ x = 12/4 = 3

So (0 ; - 12) and (3 ; 0)

nordsb [41]
1500 + 0.45x < 1.70x
1500 < 1.70x - 0.45x
1500 < 1.25x
1500/1.25 < x
1200 < x.....so she would have to sell 1201 cards to make a profit
