Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a triangle and label the sides (picture below):
● the length is 2x+2
● and the width or the height is 6x
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides
● P = 2x+2 + 6x + 2x+2 + 6x
Isolate the similar terms
● P = (2x+2x+6x+6x) + (2+2)
● P = 16x + 4
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
f(x) = 4x + 6
f(x) = 54
Step 2: Substitute variables
54 = 4x + 6
Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>
<u>Subtract 6 on both sides:</u> 48 = 4x
<u>Divide both sides by 4:</u> 12 = x
Step 4: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it is a solution.</em>
f(12) = 4(12) + 6
f(12) = 48 + 6
f(12) = 54
One reason that negative numbers would not make sense for values of the variables is that the solution having a negative value is not valid. It might be that the expression represents a real word problem and a negative value will not make any sense. Hope this helps.
