Answer

Option C is correct.

Length of the rectangle = 140x - 82.5

Step-by-step explanation

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as

P = 2 (L + W)

where

P = Perimeter of the rectangle = 340x - 255

L = Length of the rectangle = ?

W = Width of the rectangle = 30x - 45

P = 2 (L + W)

340x - 255 = 2 (L + 30x - 45)

340x - 255 = 2L + 60x - 90

We can rewrite this as

2L + 60x - 90 = 340x - 255

2L = 340x - 60x - 255 + 90

2L = 280x - 165

Divide both sides by 2

(2L/2) = (280x - 165)/2

L = 140x - 82.5

Hope this Helps!!!
