Question

The perimeter of a regular 6 -sided figure is 30 units, and the length of each side is x + 1 units.

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

since each side is equal to x + 1 and there are 6 sides, to get x alone, you have to subtract 1, six times from the perimeter.

1 × 6 = 6

30 - 6 = 24

then divide that by the number of sides (6)

24 ÷ 6 = 4

x = 4!
