Question

A garden is 15-feet long by 5-feet wide . The length and width of the garden will each be increased by the same number of feet . This expression represents the perimeter of the larger garden

Answer 1

15 times 5 is the answer

Answer 2

40 + 4x

Explanation:

formula for perimeter:

( length * 2 )+(width * 2)

you know that the length and width will be increased by the same number so you can call that X.

((length + x)*2) + ((width + x) * 2)

then substitute length and width

((15+x)*2) + ((5+x)*2))

you can simplify this a bit more

30 + 2x + 10 + 2x

40 +4x

Goodluck with your schoolwork/homework!
