Answer:

The perimeter is 110 cm.

Explanation:

The length of a rectangle is 3x-5 and the width of the rectangle is 2x+7. Find the perimeter.

if we condense that

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

Now we can see how the answer forms. If we plug in our equations from above:

100 = 2(3x + 5) + 2(2x)

Distributing

100 = 6x + 10 + 4x
