Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
42 = 5x + 5x + ( x - 3 ) + ( x - 3 )
42 = 12x - 6
48 = 12x
x = 4
Perimeter is the length around the rectangle (or any other shape). For rectangles, it's found by adding the side lengths. In this case, it required algebra to solve for x.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent.
The perimeter is the sum of the 4 sides, thus
2(5x) + 2(x - 3) = 42 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
10x + 2x - 6 = 42
12x - 6 = 42 ( add 6 to both sides )
12x = 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x = 4

5m^2 x 2m = 10m^3
-5x-6.5>12
Add 6.5 to both sides...
-5x>18.5
Divide both sides by -5 and flip the sign...
x<-3.7
