Question

One side of a square is represented by 4x - 2 and its other side by 3x + 10. Find the length of its side.

Answer 1

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

So, 3x+12=5x−20

⇒5x−3x=20+12

⇒2x=32

⇒x=16

Substitute the value of x in the value of side equation 2x−5

2x−5=2(16)−5=27

Answer 2

let the given sides of the square be S' and S".

, where S'= 4x-2 and S"= 3x+10

a/q,

S'= S". ( sides of a square are equal.)

then, 4x-2= 3x+10

4x-3x= 10+2

so, x= 12

hence the side length of the square = 4x-2=3x+10= 46 units.
