Question

The length of a rectangle is 2x + 3. The width of the rectangle is x - 2. Which of the following represents the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

To get the perimeter, you have to add all sides. So you’ll have 2x+3+2x+3+x-2+x-2. So assuming I have done the math correctly, the answer should be 6x+2.

Answer 2

6x+2

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides. A rectangle has four sides. You multiply each equation by two, and add the two equations together.
