D is the correct answer
x+5=10: subtract 5 from both sides the 5 will cancel out leaving x=5
x+5=10
-5 -5
x=5
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
- <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4
15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4
15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4
1/4 = 1/4
it depends how long the width and the length is. If the length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm the perimeter will be 18cm. All you have to do is 5 doubled because there 2 sides for the length and 4 doubled because there are 2 sides for the width. I hope I have answered your question. XD
