Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. So we can set up an equation:

Now solve for 'x', combine like terms:
When it comes to terms with variables it's just like normal addition but we keep the variable:


So we have:

Add:

Subtract 7x to both sides:

Subtract 4 to both sides:

Divide 5 to both sides:
Answer:
(x + 39) or x = -39
Step-by-step explanation:
Set f(x) to 0
0 = 5x + 195
5x = -195
x = -39
This is how the calculation is done
1/2 = 24/x
x = 48
When divided fractions you flip the second fraction
1/5 x 12/1
This then equals
12/5
That simplifies to 2 2/5
