X = 2
A square has 4 sides. To get the perimeter of a square, you could multiply the length of one side by 4.
One side of the larger triangle is x inches plus an additional 8 inches, which can be written as (x+8)
To get the perimeter of the larger square, multiply the expression (x+8) by 4. The question states the larger square’s perimeter is 40 inches.
You end up with this equation: 4(x + 8) = 40
To solve first distribution 4 into (x + 8).
4x + 32 = 40 | subtract 32 from both sides
4x = 8 | divide each side by 4
x = 2 inches
So the side length of the original square is 2 inches. To check your work, go back and plug x = 2 into the original equation. 8 in + 2 in = 10 inches, and 10 inches x 4 = 40 inches, so x = 2 is the solution

Answer:
<u>The correct answer is that Zack used 2 7/8 gallons to water his garden on the fifth week.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find out the pattern Zack is using to water his garden, this way:
First week = 1 3/8 gallons of water
Second week = 1 3/4 gallons of water = 1 3/8 + 3/8 = 1 6/8 = 1 3/4
Third week = 2 1/8 gallons of water = 1 3/4 + 3/8 = 1 6/8 + 3/8 = 2 1/8
The constant of adding every week is 3/8 gallons, therefore,
Fourth week = 2 1/8 + 3/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2 gallons of water
Fifth week = 2 1/2 + 3/8 = 2 4/8 + 3/8 = 2 7/8 gallons of water
<u>The correct answer is that Zack used 2 7/8 gallons to water his garden on the fifth week.</u>
