Answer:
The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a square is
P = 4s where s is the side length
P = 4( 3x+2)
P = 12x+8
We know P = 14x-2
14x-2 = 12x+8
Subtract 12x from each side
14x-2 -12x = 12x+8-12x
2x -2 = 8
Add 2 to each side
2x-2 +2 = 8+2
2x= 10
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 10/2
x = 5
The side is 3x+2
3*5+2
15+2
17
The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft
This is how I would work it out:
1st no. = x+1 2x+10=3(x+1)-7
2nd no. = x 2x+10=3x-4
x=14
1st no. is 15; 2nd no. is 14
To check: 28+10=38; three times the larger is 45; and 38 is 7 less than 45.
Answer:
x - 6 = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 x - 2 = 8
Multiply all the terms by 3
3*1/3x - 2*3 = 8*3
x - 6 = 24
