Question

Help
1) find the value of x
2)find length of a side of the square

Answer 1

x = 12 , s = 41

Explanation:

The sides of a square are equal , so

4x - 7 = 3x + 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x - 7 = 5 ( add 7 to both sides )

x = 12

Then

length of side s is

s = 4x - 7 = 4(12) - 7 = 48 - 7 = 41
