The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) in the given square ABCD where the lengths of sides AB and BC are given as \( AB = (2x + 3) \) cm and \( BC = (3x - 5) \) cm. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the properties of a square**: In a square, all sides are equal. Therefore, we can set the lengths of sides AB and BC equal to each other. \[ AB = BC \] 2. **Set up the equation**: Substitute the expressions for AB and BC into the equation. \[ 2x + 3 = 3x - 5 \] 3. **Rearrange the equation**: To isolate \( x \), we will first move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and constant terms to the other side. \[ 2x + 3 + 5 = 3x \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x + 8 = 3x \] 4. **Isolate \( x \)**: Now, subtract \( 2x \) from both sides of the equation. \[ 8 = 3x - 2x \] This simplifies to: \[ 8 = x \] 5. **Conclusion**: Thus, the value of \( x \) is: \[ x = 8 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is \( 8 \). ---
