Answer: ? = x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the garden is x + 3x + 1 + x + ?
The perimeter of the garden is also (6x + 2)
Therfore:
x + 3x + 1 + x + ? = 6x + 2
<em>Collect like terms: </em>
5x + 1 + ? = 6x + 2
<em>Subtract 5x from both sides:</em>
1 + ? = x + 2
<em>Subtract 1 from both sides:</em>
? = x + 1
You cannot find ? as a number, only in terms of x.

now, what's the slope of a line parallel to that one above? well, parallel lines have exactly the same slope.
The magnitude size of -5.8 is 5.8
magnitude size of a number is the number itself, and if it’s negative, it becomes its absolute value (in other words, you remove the subtraction sign).
