Question

A table measures x+4 inches long and 5x+12 inches wide. What is the perimeter of the table?

Answer 1

P = 12x +32

Explanation:

The perimeter is found by using the formula

P =2(l+w)

We know the length and the width

P = 2(x+4 + 5x+12)

Combine like terms

P = 2(6x+16)

Distribute

P = 12x +32
