Question

The perimeter is 30cm.

Work out the lengths of all the sides.
3x + 2
X
4x - 6

Answer 1

(3x+2+4x-6)2=30

7x-4=30

7x=34

x=34/7

To find the side lengths of the rectangle;

3x+2=116/7. and. 4x-6=94/7

Answer 2

Answer: To solve for the length of all sides, we need to set the perimeter equal to the sum of the lengths of the three sides:

30 cm = 3x + 2 + x + 4x - 6

30 cm = 8x + 2

Now we can solve for x:

30 cm = 8x + 2

28 cm = 8x

x = 28/8

x = 3.5

So each of the sides is 3.5 cm long, and the lengths of the three sides are:

3x + 2 = 3 * 3.5 + 2 = 11.5 cm

x = 3.5 cm

4x - 6 = 4 * 3.5 - 6 = 11.5 cm

Therefore, the lengths of the sides are 11.5 cm, 3.5 cm, and 11.5 cm.
