Answer:

The value of x is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is P = 3 × S, where S is the length of each side

∵ The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches

∴ P = 63 inches

→ By using the rule of the perimeter above

∵ P = 3 × S

→ Equate the right sides of P

∴ 3 × S = 63

→ Divide both sides by 3

∴ S = 21 inches

∴ The length of each side is 21 inches

∵ The length of each side is (4x - 3)

→ Equate (4x - 3) by the length of each side

∴ 4x - 3 = 21

→ Add 3 to both sides

∵ 4x - 3 + 3 = 21 + 3

∴ 4x = 24

→ Divide both sides by 4 to find x

∴ x = 6

∴ The value of x is 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12(6) + 1/4 • 2^2

Square the 2 first.

12(6) + 1/4 • 4

Then multiply from left to right.

72 + 1

Lastly, add.

The parenthesis around the 6 mean multiplication, not the Parenthesis that are grouping symbols if you are learning PEMDAS. So your question has no grouping symbol parenthesis. Next comes Exponents, that's why we squared the 2. Multiply and Divide come next IN THE ORDER THAT THEY APPEAR FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. Then the same method with adding and subtracting. That's called the order of operations.
