Question

The perimeter of a square can be represented by the expression 8x-10+8-10. Write an expression to represent the length of one side of the square

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of one side of square is $a= 2x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given that perimeter of square=8x-10+8-10.............(1)

Let us consider length of one side of square be 'a'

therefore, perimeter of square =4a..................(2)

frome equation 1 and 2

$4a=8x-10+8-10$

$4a=8x-12$

$a= frac{8x-12}{4}$

$a= 2x-3$

Therefore,

length of one side of square is $a= 2x-3$

Answer 2

Answer:

2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is convert perimeter to side length, so we divide the expression by 4.

8x-10+8-10=8x-10-2=8x-12=(8x-12)/4=2x-3
