Answer:
X equals 10
Step-by-step explanation:
4X centimeters divided by x cm equals 4. Since we know that were divided by 48 CM / 4 equals 12. That means that (x + 2) cm equals 12. That means that x is equal to 10
[tex] \frac{4x}{x} = \frac{48}{(x + 2)} \\ 4 = \frac{48}{(x + 2)} \\ 48 = 4(x + 2) \\ 48 = 4x + 8 \\ 48 - 8 = 4x \\ 40 = 4 x \\ \frac{40}{4} = \frac{4x}{4} \\ = x = 10[/tex]
