Answer:

x=5.5

Explanation:

Perimeter of ABCD=85

The perimeter is everything around the outside added together.

Form an equation:

3x+4+4x+6x-11+5x-7=85

Collect the like terms:

Like terms are terms that have the same powers and coefficient.

3x+4x+6x+5x=18x

4-11-7= -14

Put it back into an equation:

18x-14=85

Do inverse operations to find out what x is:

85+14=99

18x=99

99÷18=5.5 (we divide because, in algebra, when a number is next to a letter, it means times and as we want the inverse, you would have to divide)

x=5.5

Hope this helps :)
