Answer:


x=10

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:


P=2w+2l

Where w is the width and l is the length.

The width is 4x and the length is 5x+2.

We also know the perimeter is 184. So, substitute:


184=2(4x)+2(5x+2)

Distribute:


184=8x+10x+4

Combine like terms:


184=18x+4

Subtract 4 from both sides:


180=18x

Divide by 18:


x=10

So, the value of x is 10

And we're done :)
