Question

Question 2 write an expression to represent the perimeter of Melissa‘s garden in the terms of X type the correct answer in each box use numerals instead of words

Answer 1

From the given statement in part A,

There are given that square patch for the tomatoes

Now,

Let x is the length of the tomato patch, w is the width of the garden and L is the length of the garden

So,

`\begin{gathered} L=3x+2 \\ W=x+5 \end{gathered}`

Then,

From the perimeter of the vegetable garden:

`\begin{gathered} P=2(L+W) \\ P=2(3x+2+x+5) \\ P=2(4x+7) \\ P=8x+14 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the perimeter is, 8x + 14.
