Explanation:
the perimeter (P) is the sum of the 4 sides
(a)
P = a + b + c + d
= x + 7 + 2x + 2 + 8x + x + 10 ← collect like terms
= 12x + 19
(b)
If x = 4 , then
P = 12x + 19 = 12(4) + 19 = 48 + 19 = 67
(c)
If x = 2 , then
P = 12x + 19 = 12(2) + 19 = 24 + 19 = 43
(d)
P = a + b + c + d
= x² + 4x + 8 + 2x² + x ← collect like terms
= 3x² + 5x + 8
