Question 728140: hello,
im stuck on this question. It says find the value of x if the perimeter is 13ft. and then there is a square and it has x on one side and 3 on another side. how would you solve this?

All sides of a square are of equal length. If one of the sides is 3 then each of the remaining three sides is also length 3. Your square would have a perimeter of 3*4-=12, NOT 13.
