Question

Please help! If GDEF is a square, GE=4x+1 and DF=8x-51, find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4x + 1 = 8x - 51

2. 4x = 8x - 52

3. -4x = -52

4. x = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+1 = 8x-51

subtract 1 from both sides

4x+1-1=8x-51-1

Simplify

4x=8x-52

Subtract 8x from both sides

4x-8x=8x-52-8x

Simplify

-4x=-52

Divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4= -52/-4

Simplify

x=13
