How do I find the perimeter of a square with one side listed as 4x + 3 and one more side listed as 3(2x - 5)?

Thank you

A square has all sides of equal length. You do not have a square.

For a rectangle, 2[(4x+3)+3(2x - 5)] = ?
If it's a square, the sides are all equal, so

4x+3 = 3(2x-5)
4x+3 = 6x-15
2x = 18
x = 9

so, the preimeter is 36
perimeter 36
