Perimeter is the total length of all sides. 72 divided by 4 equal sides of a square will give you the value of a. 72 divided by 4 is 18. The value of a is 18 yards.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has 4 sides of equal length.

The perimeter of the square is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the square.

P = perimeter; a = length of 1 side

P = a + a + a + a

P = 4a

We are told the perimeter is 72 yd.

4a = 72 yd

Divide both sides by 4.

a = 72/4 yd

a = 18 yd

Answer: 18

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,7) and is parallel to the line shown ( please help !! )

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$y=2x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will first need to determine the slope of the line shown.

We know that it passes through the two points (-2, -2) and (1, 4).

Thus, we can use the slope formula to find the slope between the two points:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let (-2, -2) be (x₁, y₁) and let (1, 4) be (x₂, y₂). Substitute:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{4-(-2)}{1-(-2)}=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Hence, the slope of the original line was 2.

Since we want the new line to be parallel, the slope of the new line must also be 2.

We know that the slope is 2 and it passes through the point (2, 7).

So, we can use the point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We will substitute 2 for m. We will also let (2, 7) be (x₁, y₁). Substitute:

$y-7=2(x-2)$

Solve for y. Distribute the right:

$y-7=2x-4$

Add 7 to both sides. Hence, our equation is:

$y=2x+3$

Which inequality would be in the correct slope-intercept form:

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

J. y > 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the standard form equation into slope-intercept, we must make y isolated.

Step 1: Subtract 6x from both sides.

$6x-2y-6x$
$-2y$

Step 2: Divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign.

$-2y/-2 < (-6x-10)/-2$
$y>3x + 5$

Therefore, the answer is J.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem,

firstly make x to stand alone

subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

Naty bought a dress for $24.95 and a skirt for $14.95.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Total items = $39.90

Sales tax amount = $3.7905

Total cost = $43.691

The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items

Step-by-step explanation:

Dress = $24.95

Skirt = $14.95

steps the clerk completed.

Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90

Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40

Correct steps:

Total items = dress + skirt

= $24.95 + $14.95

= $39.90

Sales tax = 9.5%

Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total

= 9.5/100 × $39.90

= 0.095 × 39.90

= $3.7905

Total cost = Total + sales tax amount

= $39.90 + $3.7905

= $43.6905

To the nearest hundredth

= $43.691

Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items

Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax
