Form an equation. Start by representing the number you want to find as X. Now add 1.
X + 1
Now we need to triple it. That basically means multiply X+1 by 3. You can write that as:
3 (X + 1)
Now we write out that the result is 17 more than the number we want to find. So set an equals sign up
3 (X + 1) =
And now write X + 17
3 (X + 1) = X + 17

Now we solve for X.
Firstly, let's get rid of the X on the right.
Remember, if we want to get rid of a number of variable on one side, we need to use opposites, and do the same to the other side of the equation.
In this case, we have a positive X on the right. To get rid of that, we subtract X from both sides. This will leave us with:
2x + 3 = 17
Now let's get rid of the +3 on the left. To do this, we subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
2x = 17 - 3
2x = 14
Now we just need to get X by itself. The 2 in front of the X multiplies X by 2. Therefore, to get X on its own, we need to divide 2x by 2, which just gives us 2.
We also need to divide the other side by 2, because if we do something on one side, we need to do something on the other too. So divide 14 by 2, and we get 7.
X = 7

But before we celebrate, let's double check the answer. Add 1 to 7. This gives us 8. Triple 8. This is 24. This should be 17 more than 7. So go, 24 - 17. And whaddya know - it's 7!

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 76 inches and 1 side measures 14 inches of it can be determined what are the lengths in inch
nydimaria [60]

The dimension of the parallelogram ABCD will be 14 inches, 48 inches, 14 inches and 48 inches.

<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A parallelogram's opposite sides are parallel and equal.

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 76 inches.0

And one side measure is 14 inches.

Then the rest of the sides will be

We know that opposite sides are prallel and equal.

Let ABCD is a parallelogram.

AB = CD = 14 inches

BC = AD = x

Then the value of x will be

We know

 P = 2(AB + BC)

76 = 2(14 + x)

 x = 48
