Question

The perimeter of a rectangular pool is 48 feet. Its length is 4 feet

more than its width.
Let the width of the pool be represented by x.
Which equation below can be used to describe the situation?
A x(x + 4) = 48
B 2x + 2(x + 4) = 48
С2x + 2x + 4 = 48
D 2x(x + 4) = 48

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

let's represent the width with x, if we represent the width with x then that makes the length x+4. Therefore the perimeter would be 2x+2(x+4)=48
