Question

What’s the equation for X?

Answer 1

x=19/4

Explanation:

perimeter is the sum of all sides

so

perimeter given is 34 = (x+2)+(x+2)+(3x-4)+(3x-4)

34=8x-4

34=8x

x=34/8 which reduces to 19/4

Answer 2

perimeter of rectangles = 2 ( l + b)

34 = 2 ( x + 2 + 3x - 4 )

34 = 2 ( 4x - 2 )

34 = 8x - 4

38 = 8 x

38/ 8 = x

thus , x = 4.75 inches
