Question

Equations with variables. Please explain it to me.

Answer 1

Equation: 10x-12=6x-6

X: 3/2 or .5

Perimeter of square and triangle are both 3.

Explanation:

Square:

4(2.5x-3) {The four represents the amount of sides}=

10x-12

Triangle:

3(2x-2)=

6x-6

Since they have the same perimeter the equation is

10x-12=6x-6

10x-6x=12-6

4x=6

x=1.5

Square pt 2:

4(2.5(3/2)-3)=

4(3.75-3)=

4(0.75)=

3

Triangle pt 2:

3(2(3/2)-2)=

3(3-2)=

3(1)=

3
