The combined area of two squares is 80 square centimeters. Each side of one square is twice as long as a side of the other square. What is the length of each side of the larger square?

The length of each side of the larger square is 8 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 ;

Step 2 :

Area of the square = a^2

Area of small square + area of large square = 80

x^2 + (2x)^2 = 80

x^2 + 4x^2 = 80

5x^2 = 80

x^2 = 80/5

x^2 = 16

x = ±4

Step 3 :

Since length cannot be negative, the value of x= 4

∴ The length of the side of small square = 4cm

The length of the side of larger square = 2x = 8cm

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions

1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15.
