PLS HELP
The perimeter of the square below is 184 m. What is the value of y.

we are given
side of square =s=6y+4
now, we know that
perimeter of square = 4*side
so,
[tex] perimeter=4*s [/tex]
now, we can plug s
[tex] perimeter=4*(6y+4) [/tex]
we can set perimeter=184
we get
[tex] 184=4*(6y+4) [/tex]
now, we can solve for y
[tex] 184=4*6y+4*4 [/tex]
we can isolate y on any one side
[tex] 184=24y+16 [/tex]
[tex] 24y=168 [/tex]
so, we get
[tex] y=7 m[/tex]...........Answer
SOLUTION:
Perimeter of a square = 4 x Length
.
Given length = 6y + 4 and Perimeter = 184 m
.
Find y:
4 (6y + 4) = 184
24y + 16 = 184
24y = 168
y = 7
.
Answer: y = 7
