Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(8−12x)+8x=−25x+52

(2)(8)+(2)(−12x)+8x=−25x+52(Distribute)

16+−24x+8x=−25x+52

(−24x+8x)+(16)=−25x+52(Combine Like Terms)

−16x+16=−25x+52

Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.

−16x+16+25x=−25x+52+25x

9x+16=52

Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides.

9x+16−16=52−16

9x=36

Step 4: Divide both sides by 9.

9x/9 = 36/9

x = 4

Please review your questions before posting them. Your spelling makes it necessary for the reader to try to guess what you mean.

If you meant that the perimeter (not permitter) of a square is 12 units, then the length of one side (not silence) of the rectangle is (12 units)/4 = 3 units.
