Question

The perimeter of a square can be represented by the expression 8x-10+8-10. Write an expression to represent the length of one side of the square

Answer 1

2x-3

Explanation:

All we need to do is convert perimeter to side length, so we divide the expression by 4.

8x-10+8-10=8x-10-2=8x-12=(8x-12)/4=2x-3

Answer 2

Length of one side of square is
`a= 2x-3`

Explanation:

In this question we have given that perimeter of square=8x-10+8-10.............(1)

Let us consider length of one side of square be 'a'

therefore, perimeter of square =4a..................(2)

frome equation 1 and 2

`4a=8x-10+8-10`

`4a=8x-12`

`a= frac{8x-12}{4}`

`a= 2x-3`

Therefore,

length of one side of square is
`a= 2x-3`
