A friend is building a 4-sided garden with two side lengths of 19 feet and exactly one right angle. What quadrilaterals could describe the garden?
Answer: The garden could be a square, rectangle or rhombus in shape. As given, the proposed garden has two sides with equal length of 19 feet and the garden is 4 sided. So, it can be a square, rectangle or rhombus.
To solve for x, first you need to isolate all x terms on the same side so:
you start with 5 + 4x = 54 - 3x
subtract 5 from both sides to get 5 onto the left side
now you should have 4x = 49 - 3x
now add 3x to both sides to get 3x onto the right side
now you should have 7x = 49
now that you have your x on one side you can solve this like a regular one step equation and divide both sides by 7
this leads you to your answer of x = 7
hope this helps!
