Question

The square has a perimeter of 42, solve for x, if the perimeter were greater than 42 what would we know about the value of x

Answer 1

WELCOME TO OPENSTUDY!! :D

Answer 2

Now if perimeter was greater than 42 then? Even the side qould be greater than 10.5

Understood? :)

Answer 3

On the diagram it has x + 3 on one side what does that mean

Answer 4

That means the sides value is x+3
Ignore my diagram then...

Perimeter = 4*(x+3) = 42
4x + 12 = 42
4x = 30
x = 7.5

Understood? :)
