Question

A rectangle has a length of

( x + 5 ) cm and a width of
( 2x - 3 ) cm. Its perimeter is 46 cm. Calculate the value of x

Answer 1

X = 7

Explanation:

2(x+5 +2x-3) = 46

2( 3x+2) = 46

3x+2 = 46/2

3x = 23-2

x = 21 /3

x = 7

Answer 2

2(x+5 +2x-3) = 46

2( 3x+2) = 46

3x+2 = 46/2

3x = 23-2

x = 21 /3

x = 8
