please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (aravindg):

All sides of a rhombus are equal. Equate the given two sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so if i were to set it up it qwould be 2x-9=x+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a positive 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow i dont know how i got 4

OpenStudy (aravindg):

2x-9=x+5 Solve it! 4 is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 wouldequal x

OpenStudy (davidusa):

solve for x put all x to one side and numbers to other side

OpenStudy (davidusa):

yes ur right

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Yep perimeter=4a where a is length of 1 side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 14 times all four sides is equals 56

OpenStudy (davidusa):

then put back in one of the equations to get side length.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks david and aravind

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Yw :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mustve got super confused because i thought x =4

OpenStudy (davidusa):

lol your welcome

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Np Calculation mistakes can happen!

OpenStudy (davidusa):

so put it back in equation. x-5 put 14 in as x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
