Question

PLEASE HELP! (Image attached)

Answer 1

I tried figuring out the perimeters but I don't know how to find x or do #25

Answer 2

Am I supposed to add an =0 to both perimeters?
6x+2=0
4x+8=0

Answer 3

perimeter of first pool = 2(2+x + 2x-1)
= 2(3x+1)
= 6x+2

Answer 4

perimeter of second pool = 2(x+2+x+2)
= 2(2x+4)
= 4x+8

Answer 5

read the q once, it says, perimeters are equal eh ?

Answer 6

so... lets set them equal

6x+2 = 4x+8

Answer 7

can u solve x ?

Answer 8

Oh oops x=3

Answer 9

yes, next find perimeter of pools also

Answer 10

Ok so they're both 20

Answer 11

Yes :)

Answer 12

Can you help me with #25?

Answer 13

try to form an equation

Answer 14

product of 3 and the sum of a number and 5

3(x+5)

Answer 15

then added to 6

3(x+5) + 6

Answer 16

is the same as

3(x+5) + 6 =

Answer 17

the same as the product of 2
3(x+5)+6=-2(x-3)-5 ?

Answer 18

Would that be correct?

Answer 19

careful about how it was worded,
it says difference of the same number \(from\) 3

Answer 20

?

Answer 21

it doesnt say, difference of same number and 3
since, it says from 3, we must subtract x from 3

Answer 22

3(x+5)+6=-2(3-x)-5

Answer 23

ohh

Answer 24

So the answer would be x=-32?

Answer 25

yup !

Answer 26

Ok :)
