Given:

Perimeter of a square =
32x-12.8

To find:

The side length of the square.

Solution:

We know that, the perimeter of the square is 4 times of its side length.

P=4a

Where, a is the side length.

Perimeter of a square =
32x-12.8

Now,

4a=32x-12.8

Divide both sides by 4.

a=(32x-12.8)/(4)

a=(32x)/(4)-(12.8)/(4)

a=8x-3.2

Therefore, the side length of the square is
units.
