Question

One side of a kite is 5 less than 2 times the length of another. If the perimeter is 32, find the length of each side of the kite

Answer 1

the perimeter is the sum of all the sides = 32.
let one side = x
the other side is 5 less than twice the other side 2x - 5

solve for x
substitute for x and find 2x - 5
