the perimeter of the kite is 66 cm.
\n" ); document.write( "one side is equal to x.
\n" ); document.write( "the other side is equal to 2x-3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there are 2 sides of value x.
\n" ); document.write( "there are 2 sides of value (2x-3).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "add up all 4 sides and they should equal the perimeter of the kit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2 * (2x-3) = 2x + 4x - 6 = 6x - 6 = 66.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "add 6 to both sides of this equaiton to get 6x = 72.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 6 to get x = 12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x-3 is equal to 2*12 - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "one side of the kite measures 12 cm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the other side of the kit measures 21 cm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2*12 + 2*21 = 24 + 42 = 66 cm togal perimeter.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\ \n" ); document.write( "
