Answer:
- (a) 104 = 4(12+x)
- (b) x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The new side length of Ben's garden is (12+x), since x is the amount of increase above the existing 12 ft side length.
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four equal sides, so is ...
perimeter = 4 × side length
104 = 4(12+x)
(b) We can solve this by dividing by 4, then subtracting 12.
26 = 12 +x . . . . . divide the above equation by 4
14 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
The solution is x = 14.
"Increased" means to add.
"Quotient" is a total of a division problem.
"A number" means the unknown.
This is our problem: 3 + 6 / N

Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle DCE is similar to EGF
CE/EF=DE/EG
Substitute
(8x-1)/21=(6x+3)/17
Cross multiply
(8x−1)*(17)=(6x+3)*(21)
136x−17=126x+63
Subtract 126x from both sides
10x−17=63
Add 17 to both sides.
10x−17+17=63+17
10x=80
Divide both sides by 10.
x=8
