here is the question

luigi0210 · Answer

Plug the number back in to find the length? :l

luigi0210 · Answer

So 3x-24
3(25)-24
75-24
=51

So the length is 51 cm

anonymous · Answer

mathslover · Answer

Yeah luigi is right. 

You dont' have to write the value of x in fact you have to find the value of 2x + 1 or 3x -24

3x -24 = 3(25) - 24 = 51

or

2x + 1 = 2(25) + 1 = 51
