Two opposite sides of a square are increased by 5 cm to form a rectangle. If the rectangle has a perimeter of 70 cm, what was the length of a side of the original square?

We know a square had 4 equal sides...and a rectangle has 2 equal sides and 2 equal opposite sides...

if you increase 2 sides by 5...and now have a perimeter of 70...that is

x + x + (x+5) + (x+5) = 70

so that is the same as

4x + 10 = 70
4x = 60
x = ?
