Answer: Third Choice. 112 = 2 (2x - 7) + 2 (4x + 3)

Concept:

Here, we need to know how to find the perimeter of a rectangle.

Perimeter (rectangle) = 2l + 2w

l = length

w = width

Solve:

Given information

l = 2x - 7

w = 4x + 3

Perimeter = 112 cm

Given expression

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

Substitute values into the expression


\boxed{112 = 2 (2x - 7) + 2 (4x + 3)}

Expand parentheses

112 = 4x - 14 + 8x + 6

Combine like terms

112 = (4x + 8x) + (6 - 14)

112 = 12x - 8

Add 8 on both sides

112 + 8 - 12x - 8 + 8

120 = 12x

Divide 12 on both sides

120 / 12 = 12x / 12


\boxed{x=10}

Hope this helps!! :)
