Zohar is using scissors to cut a rectangle with a length of 5x – 2 and a width of 3x + 1 out of a larger piece of paper. The perimeter of the rectangle is 2(5x – 2) + 2(3x + 1). If x = 4 centimeters, what is the total distance Zohar needs to cut with the scissors? 31 centimeters 36 centimeters 62 centimeters 70 centimeters

they give you the equation: 2(5x-2)+2(3x+1)

and they give you x. x=4

just substitute and solve: 2((5•4)-2)+2((3•4)+1)=2(20-2)+2(12+1)=2(18)+2(13)=36+26=62
