Answer:
x = 15
Therefore, the length and width are 31 and 47.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = (2x + 1) + (2x + 1) + (3x + 2) + (3x + 2) = 156
Simplified,
10x + 6 = 156
Subtract 6 from both sides, then divide by 10.
10x = 150
x = 15
To find the length and width, substitute 15 (the value of x) into the individual equations.
2(15) + 1 = 31
3(15) + 2 = 47
It can also be written as fifty-five.
The answer would be B) x = 4.
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9
3 = 4.5x - 9 - 1.5x
3 = 3x - 9
3 + 9 = 3x
12 = 3x
12/3 = x
4 = x
x = 4.
Okay first you need to combine like terms together (3x and 1x)
7x + 4 = 5 + 4x
now you need x only on one side, you could subtract either 7x or 4x
3x + 4 = 5
subtract 4 over
3x = 1 is the answer
