Question

Find the perimeter. Simplify your answer.

Answer 1

P = 2w - 10

Explanation:

To solve this problem use the perimeter formula
`P=2l+2w`

So here we have 1 as the width and w-6 as the length
`P=2(w-6) + 2(1)`

So we multiply 2(w) 2(-6) to get 2w-12

So because 2 times 1 is 2 the perimeter would be
`P=2w-12 + 2`

Simplified would be
`P=2w-10`

because -12 + 2 = 10
