Pls help me my school starts in a hour and I need the answer


The perimeter of a square is 24in. If the side length is represented by the expressions x +2, what is the value of the side?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

first set up an equation. 24 is your total, so put it on one end of the equal side, and x+2 on the other (24=x+2) then you subtract 2 from BOTH SIDES so that u get x by itself

24=x+2

-2       -2

22=x

since it is a square divide 22 by 4

22/4= 5.5

so 5.5 in is your answer.

Answer:6 FOR EACH OF THE SIDE

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok we know that a square has 4 equal sides and we know the total perimeter is 24, all we need to do is multiply 4*2 which is 8, so 4x+8 and all we need to do is circle move and divide so 4x+8=24, 4x=16, x=4 and now we know that each side has a total value of 6 since substitute x with 4 and get 6.
