Question

Find the perimeter of this shape

Answer 1

3y+8x

Explanation:

To solve this problem we first have to add similar terms

Adding like terms:

So let us add up the sides that have the same variable. Let us solve for the variable y first ->

`4+y+2y-2\\\\(y+2y)+(4-2)\\\\3y+2`

Now we have the simplified form of the y. Now let us solve for x ->

`6x+2+2x-4\\\\(6x + 2x) + (2 - 4)\\\\8x - 2`

Combine both expressions:

To combine these expressions we add the constants and leave the variables. (We do this because different variables cannot be added together)

`8x - 2 +3y +2\\\\8x + 3y + (-2 + 2)\\\\8x+3y+0\\\\8x+3y`

So 3y + 8x is the asnwer
