John found the perimeter of a square is 4X +26FT find the perimeters length is 120 FT what is the value of x

Answer 1

To find the value of \( x \) when the perimeter of the square is given as \( 4X + 26 \) feet and it is also stated that the perimeter is 120 feet, we can set up the following equation:

\[ 4X + 26 = 120 \]

Now, we can solve for \( X \):

1. Subtract 26 from both sides: \[ 4X = 120 - 26 \] \[ 4X = 94 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 4: \[ X = \frac{94}{4} \] \[ X = 23.5 \]

Thus, the value of \( X \) is \( 23.5 \).
