Question

The reading rug in Mrs. Shaw s room has a perimeter

of 28 meters. The table gives the length and width of
the rug. If the equation 4(x + 3.3) = 28 can be used to
find the perimeter of the rug, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

The value of x is 3.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we can solve the equation 4(x + 3.3) = 28 by simplifying and isolating x.

1. Distribute 4 to the terms inside the parentheses: 4x + 13.2 = 28
2. Subtract 13.2 from both sides of the equation: 4x = 14.8
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 4: x = 3.7

Therefore, the value of x is 3.7.

Answer 2

i got 3.7 bc i just figure what 4 x # = 28 which was 7 so 3.3 + # = 7. i did 7 - 3.3 = 3.7 so add that to 3.3 is 7 :) then 7 x 4 = 28
hope that made sense
