Question

A garden has four sides that are all the same length. Each side measures x + 4 units. The garden's perimeter in 112. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

The value of x = 24

Since there’s 4 even sides, add up the number you know. So, 4 • 4 = 16. Then subtract 16 from the perimeter of 112 to get 96. Lastly, divide that number by 4 to find what x equals. And, 96 / 4 = 24.

Hope this helps!
