X = 2
A square has 4 sides. To get the perimeter of a square, you could multiply the length of one side by 4.
One side of the larger triangle is x inches plus an additional 8 inches, which can be written as (x+8)
To get the perimeter of the larger square, multiply the expression (x+8) by 4. The question states the larger square’s perimeter is 40 inches.
You end up with this equation: 4(x + 8) = 40
To solve first distribution 4 into (x + 8).
4x + 32 = 40 | subtract 32 from both sides
4x = 8 | divide each side by 4
x = 2 inches
So the side length of the original square is 2 inches. To check your work, go back and plug x = 2 into the original equation. 8 in + 2 in = 10 inches, and 10 inches x 4 = 40 inches, so x = 2 is the solution
Thought I already answered this. I must have forgotten to click "add your answer."
We have similar triangle trianges ABC ~ ADE so
BC:AB = DE:AD
BC:2 = 10 : (2+3) = 10:5 = 2:1
So BC=4 because 4:2 = 2:1

Answer:
101/3 or 33 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
7 2/15=107/15
9 13/15=138/15
107/15+52/3+138/15
107/15+138/15+52/3
245/15+52/3
245/15+260/15
505/15
simplify,
101/3
