Question

PLS HELP The perimeter of the square below is 184 m. What is the value of y.

Answer 1

we are given

side of square =s=6y+4

now, we know that

perimeter of square = 4*side

so,

$perimeter=4*s$

now, we can plug s

$perimeter=4*(6y+4)$

we can set perimeter=184

we get

$184=4*(6y+4)$

now, we can solve for y

$184=4*6y+4*4$

we can isolate y on any one side

$184=24y+16$

$24y=168$

so, we get

$y=7 m$...........Answer

Answer 2

SOLUTION:

Perimeter of a square = 4 x Length

.

Given length = 6y + 4 and Perimeter = 184 m

.

Find y:

4 (6y + 4) = 184

24y + 16 = 184

24y = 168

y = 7

.

Answer: y = 7
