The lengths of two sides of a parallelogram are 5x + 4 and 2x + 3y. Identify an expression for the perimeter of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Answer: 2(7x + 3y + 4) [unsimplified] or 14x + 6y + 8 [simplified]

Step-by-step explanation: The perimeter of a parallelogram is 2 * (the two sides.)

Adding 5x + 4 and 2x + 3y, we get 7x + 3y + 4 by combining like terms in the x terms.

Now, we multiply by 2. This is 2(7x + 3y + 4) or 14x + 6y + 8
