Question

a square scrapbooking page has a perimeter of (8x+20) inches.what is the length of one side of the scrapbooking?

Answer 1

One side of the scrapbooking is (8x+20)/4= 2x+5 inches.

Answer 2

Answer:

$(2x+5)in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a square is equal to

$P=4b$

where

b is the length side of the square

In this problem we have

$P=(8x+20) in$

so

$4b=(8x+20)$

solve for $b$

Divided by $4$ both sides

$4b/4=(8x+20)/4$

$b=(2x+5)in$
