Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

The problem involves finding the value of \( x \) in a parallelogram where the perimeter is given as 32.2. The sides of the parallelogram are labeled with expressions involving \( x \).

Step 2: Identify the Sides of the Parallelogram

In the parallelogram \( URST \):

  • \( UR \) and \( TS \) are each 16 units.
  • \( UT \) and \( RS \) are each \( 3x - 8 \) units.
Step 3: Set Up the Perimeter Equation

The perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of all its sides. Therefore, the equation for the perimeter is: \[ 2(16) + 2(3x - 8) = 32.2 \]

Step 4: Simplify the Equation

Simplify the equation to solve for \( x \): \[ 32 + 6x - 16 = 32.2 \] \[ 6x + 16 = 32.2 \] \[ 6x = 32.2 - 16 \] \[ 6x = 16.2 \]

Step 5: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by 6 to find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{16.2}{6} \] \[ x = 2.7 \]

Final Answer

The correct equation to set up is: \[ 3x - 8 + 16 + 3x - 8 + 16 = 32.2 \] The value of \( x \) is: \[ x = 2.7 \]

So, the correct answers are:

  • b. \( 3x - 8 + 16 + 3x - 8 + 16 = 32.2 \)
  • f. \( 2.7 \)
