Answer:

side = 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square

• all 4 sides are congruent (equal )

equate the 2 given sides and solve for x

6x - 1 = 4x + 6 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 6 ( add 1 to both sides )

2x = 7 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3.5

substitute x = 3.5 into either of the 2 given sides.

4x + 6 = 4(3.5) + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20

Then side = 20 cm

Answer:

[tex]20[/tex] [tex]cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square all sides will equal each other.

So, we can set the sides equal to each other

[tex]6x-1=4x+6[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides

[tex]6x=4x+7[/tex]

Subtract both sides by 4x

[tex]2x=7[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]x=3.5[/tex]

Now we fill in x into either equation to find the side length

[tex]6(3.5)-1[/tex]

[tex]21-1[/tex]

[tex]20[/tex] [tex]cm[/tex]

I hope this helps :)
