Question

24. A rectangle has a length of x +5 and a width of 2x-9. Using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle wrote an expression to represent the perimeter of the rectangle in simplest form

Answer 1

Perimeter = 6x-8

Explanation:

a=x+5

b=2x-9

Perimeter = 2*(a+b)

Perimeter = 2*(x+5+(2x-9))

Perimeter = 2*(x+5+2x-9)

Perimeter = 2*(3x-4)

Perimeter = 6x-8
