Question

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 16 Solve for X​

Answer 1

x=1/4

Explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle

2(L+w)

-2x-6(4x+4)

open the bracket

-2x(4x+4)-6(4x+4)

-8x^2-8x-24x-24

-8x^2-32x-24

2(-8x^2-32x-24)

-16x^2-64x-48

coefficient of x is 64

16=64x

x=1/4

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal , then perimeter

2(- 2x - 6) + 2(4x + 4) = 16 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

- 4x - 12 + 8x + 8 = 16

4x - 4 = 16 ( add 4 to both sides )

4x = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 5
