Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so if we take the properties of a square we know that each side will be the same length. We can use this info to set up an equation like so:

7x - 10 = 5x + 2

Now let's solve:

7x - 10 = 5x + 2

Add 10 to each side:

7x = 5x + 12

subtract 5x from each side:

2x = 12

Divide each side by 2:

x = 6

You can check by substituting:

7x - 10 = 5x + 2

7 ( 6 ) - 10 = 5 ( 6 ) + 2

42 - 10 = 30 + 2

32 = 32
