Question

The perimeter of the square can be represented by the expression 16x+24 Willa wants to write an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows the side length of the square: create an equivalent expression that Willa could write

Answer 1

l = 4x + 6

Explanation:

The perimeter of the square can be represented by the expression: 16x + 24

If the length of the square is l units,

Then the perimeter of the square can also be represented as l + l + l + l = 4l

Hence 4l = 16x + 24

Length (l) =
`(16x + 24)/(4)` = 4x + 6
