The perimeter of a square is represented by the expression 32x-12. . Write two equivalent expressions for the perimeter and explain how to find the length of one side. x=3

P = 2(l+w) (1)

P = 4l (2)

P= 32x- 12

4l = 32x- 12

l = 8x- 3

One side will be equal to 21 units and the perimeter will be 84 units when x=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is given by the formula

P = 2(l+w) (1)

where p= perimeter , l= length and w= width.

But a square has the length equal to the width so w= l and the formula becomes

P = 2( l+l)

P = 2 (2l)

P = 4l (2)

The perimeter of the square is

P= 32x- 12

or

4l = 32x- 12

dividing the whole equation by 4 we get

l = 8x- 3

So the length of one side can be obtained by dividing the perimeter by 4.

If x= 3

then

l= 8(3)-3

l= 24- 3

l = 21

One side will be equal to 21 units and the perimeter will be 84 units.

P = 4l = 4(21)= 84

the answer is 45 i just did it on oddesy ware
