Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the perimeter and the length the rest is pretty easy.

The reason C is correct:

2(x+15)=44

1. Distribute the 2.

2x+(2)15=44

2. Multiply 15 by 2, and subtract 30 from both sides.

2x+30=44

2x=14

3. Divide both sides by 2 and you have your answer.

x+7

4. Check your answer.

2(7+15)=44

14+30=44

44==44
