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
Dylan is wrong because if you multiply that ratio times 2 it would be 6/2 not 7/2.
Answer:
19y - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(-4y + 3) + 7y =
Distribute the -3.
= 12y - 9 + 7y
Combine like terms: 12y + 7y
= 19y - 9
13 !!
52/13 = 4
91/13 = 7
Good Day !!
