If you look at the image you can see that it says “x - 2 is greater than/equal to 0
Translating that problem into an equation with x as a variable we get 3x + x +10 = 22. Combine like terms to get 4x + 10 = 22. Subtract 10 on both sides to get 4x = 12. Divide by 4 on both sides to get x = 3.
Now to plug in. The first number was represented by 3x. So substituting 3 for the x we get 3(3) = 9. And again for the second number represented by x+10, 3+10 = 13.
Your numbers are 9 and 13. To check just add them together. 13 + 9 is 22, I'll save ya the effort.
Answer:
No, it's not long enough
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the square is 4/5. P=4s where s is the side length. 4/5 is larger than 5/8, so there will not be enough lights to cover the whole perimeter.
