Question

If the perimeter of the following figure is 58 meters find x.
(6x + 10) meters
(-2x - 5)meters
(x + 3) meters

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the 3 sides and equate to 58

6x + 10 + x + 3 - 2x - 5 = 58 , that is

5x + 8 = 58 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

5x = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x+10)+(-2x-5)+(x+3) = 58

5x+8 = 58

5x = 58-8

x = 50/5

x = 10
