Question

A square has a perimeter of 36x - 12. Which expression represents one side of the
square?

Answer 1

9x - 3

Explanation:

Hello!

A square has 4 sides.

We can factor out 4 from the expression to find the value of one side.

Factor:

• 36x - 12
• 4(9x) - 4(3)
• 4(9x - 3)

This means that each side of the square is 9x - 3 units long.
