Question

. If the length of the side of a table is 3 more than twice its width, what is the expression

of its perimeter? Draw an image and show all your work to demonstrate your thinking
and understanding of this problem.

Answer 1

Perimeter = 6w + 6

Explanation:

Let width = w

Length = 2w + 3

Perimeter = 2*(length + width)

= 2*(2w + 3 + w) {add the like terms}

= 2*( 3w+3)

= 2*3w + 2*3

= 6w + 6
