The <em>perimeter</em> of any shape is given by the sum of it's <em>all sides</em> and as <em>here the shape</em> is <em>square</em> so it's all <em>sides</em> must be <em>equal</em> and it <em>have 4 sides</em>. So if we assume it's one side to be <em><u>s</u></em> , then perimeter = (s+s+s+s) = <em><u>4s</u></em> , so in our question :

{:\implies \quad \sf 4s=28}

{:\implies \quad \sf s=\dfrac{28}{4}=7}

{:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{s=7\:\: inches}}}

<em>Hence , the length of each side of the square is 7 inches </em>

Two step equations solve for x​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

v=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply both v+9/3 and 8 by 3.

Like this 3 x v+9/3=8 x 3.

Then you will get v+9=24.

After you multiply both sides by 3 you subtract 9 from both sides.

v+9-9=24-9

and you will get v=15.
