Question

A square fence has a perimeter of (24x + 36) units. What is the length of one side of the fence?

Answer 1

The perimeter of a square is four times the length of one side, so we can write:

4s = 24x + 36

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

s = 6x + 9

Therefore, the length of one side of the fence is 6x + 9 units.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The perimeter of a square fence is given by 4s, where s is the length of one side of the square. We can set up the equation 4s = 24x + 36 and solve for s.

Dividing both sides by 4, we get s = 6x + 9.

Therefore, the length of one side of the fence is 6x + 9 units.
