Question

Find an expression for the perimeter of the rectangle. Write your answer in standard form.​

Answer 1

B. 12x + 8

Explanation:

2x + 5 + 4x - 1 + 2x + 5 + 4x - 1

Combine like terms.

6x + 5 - 1 + 2x + 5 + 4x + 1

8x + 5 - 1 + 5 + 4x - 1

12x + 5 - 1 + 5 - 1

12x + 10 - 1 - 1

12x + 10 - 2

Subtract 2 from 10 to get 8.

12x + 8

The perimeter of the rectangle is 12x + 8, which is B.
