The perimeters of these rectangles are the same. Write an equation and solve for x.
Perimeter of left rectangle
Perimeter of right rectangle
P = x + x x + x + 5
P = x – 4 + 2x + x – 4 + 2x
= 4x + 10
= 6x – 8
Since the perimeters are the same, set them equal to each other
10 = 2x – 8
4x + 10 = 6x – 8
