Answer:
A)15
Step-by-step explanation:
to understand this
you need to know about:
let's solve:
parimeter of a square:4a
according to the question
[tex] \sf 4(8x + 2) = 488[/tex]
divide both sides by 4:
[tex] \sf \frac{4(8x + 2) }{2}= \frac{488}{2} \\ \sf \frac{ \cancel4 ^{} (8x + 2)}{ \cancel{4}} = \frac{ \cancel{488} \: ^{122} }{ \cancel{ \: 2}} \\ 8x + 2 = 122[/tex]
cancel 2 from both sides:
[tex] \sf 8x + 2 - 2 = 122 - 2 \\ \sf 8x = 120[/tex]
divide both sides by 8
[tex] \sf\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{120}{8} \\ \sf \therefore \: x = 15[/tex]
