Three sides: add them to get perimeter.
x + 2x+3 + 3x+1= 9x+11
solve for x.
But the problem is about adding and subtracting polynomials...
This is what I did...
2x+3+3x+1
=2x+3x+3+1
=5x+4
and
9x+11-5x+4
=9x-5x+11+4
=4x+15
but then, if I add both 5x+4+4x+15
=9x+19...
BobPursely gave this equation:
x + 2x+3 + 3x+1= 9x+11
If you only look at the left side, you'll get 6x + 4.
Your new equation should read:
6x + 4 = 9x + 11
Does that help?
im not sure?
Ok. From here, you need to solve for x. The easiest way to do that is to get x on one side of the equation. Do you know how to do that?
yes :)
