Answer:

The length of one side of the square is [tex](4x-5) units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a square is equal to

[tex]P=4b[/tex]

where

b is the length of one side of the square

In this problem we have

[tex]P=8x-10+8x-10[/tex]

[tex]P=16x-20[/tex]

substitute

[tex]16x-20=4b[/tex]

solve for b

[tex]b=(16x-20)/4[/tex]

[tex]b=(4x-5) units[/tex]
