Question

The perimeter of a square is represented by the expression (32x – 12) feet. What expression below represents the length of one side of the square?

Remember that a square has four sides of equal length.

A
8x – 12

B
x – 3

C
8x – 3

D
16x – 6

Answer 1

answer is because you have to divide the whole expression by 4 to get one side.

Answer 2

The answer is C, because for example, if X=1 than 32(1)-12=20, which means the perimeter of the square is 20. If the perimeter of the square is 20 than each side is 5 feet long. If we plug in 1 to answer choice C we get 5 this the answer is C
