The answer is 3. This is because the perimeter is 30 so 5x+5x+x-3+x-3 = 30. Thus you have 12x-6=30 so x = 3
L = 4d + 54
after crew worked 33 days...d = 33
L = 4(33) + 54
L = 132 + 54
L = 186...so after 33 days, the crew made a road that measures 186 miles
1/8 of all=mystery
mystery=3
'of' means multiply
therefor
1/8 times all=3
multiply both sides by 8/1 to clear fracion
all=24
