Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation: $30=2(x-2)+2(2x+3)$

$x:\frac{14}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the perimeter of a figure can be calculated by adding the lenghts of its sides.

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:

$P=2(x-2)+2(2x+3)$ [Equation 1]

According to the data given in the exercise, the perimeter in feet of the fighter is:

$P=30$

Therefore, you can substitute this values into [Equation 1]:

$30=2(x-2)+2(2x+3)$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$30=6x+2\\\\30-2=6x\\\\\frac{28}{6}=x\\\\x=\frac{14}{3}$
