PLS HELP

The perimeter of the square below is 184 m. What is the value of y.

Answer 1

Perimeter of a square = 4 x Length

.

Given length = 6y + 4 and Perimeter = 184 m

.

Find y:

4 (6y + 4) = 184

24y + 16 = 184

24y = 168

y = 7

.

Answer: y = 7

Answer 2

we are given

side of square =s=6y+4

now, we know that

perimeter of square = 4*side

so,

`perimeter=4*s`

now, we can plug s

`perimeter=4*(6y+4)`

we can set perimeter=184

we get

`184=4*(6y+4)`

now, we can solve for y

`184=4*6y+4*4`

we can isolate y on any one side

`184=24y+16`

`24y=168`

so, we get

`y=7 m`...........Answer
