Question

Ronin draws a square with a measure of (x+2) inches on each side. The perimeter of his square is 96 inches. The equation below represents the perimeter of the square. 4(x+2)=96 What is the value of x?What is the value of x?What is the value of x?

Answer 1

22

Explanation:

4(x + 2) = 96

Divide both sides by 4.

x+2=\frac{96}{4}

= 24

x + 2 = 24

Subtract 2 from both sides.

(x+2) - 2 = 24 - 2

x = 22

Answer 2

4(x + 2) = 96

Divide both sides by 4.

`x+2=(96)/(4)`

= 24

x + 2 = 24

Subtract 2 from both sides.

(x+2) - 2 = 24 - 2

x = 22

Hence, the value of x is 22.
