Answer: (16x - 2)inches
Explanation:
The shape of Jake's window is a rectangle. It means that the two opposite sides are equal. The perimeter of the rectangular window is the distance round it.
The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as 2(length + width)
From the dimensions given
Length = height of the window
= 5x - 3 inches
Width = 3x + 2 inches
Perimeter of the window =
2(5x - 3 + 3x + 2) = 10x - 6 + 6x + 4
= 10x + 6x + 4 - 6
Perimeter of the window =
(16x - 2)inches
