Question

Which equation is true if the perimeter of the rectangle is 60? A rectangle with a length of 3 x minus 2 and width of x + 5. x + 5 = 3 x minus 2 (x + 5) + (3 x minus 2) = 60 2 (x + 5) + 2 (3 x minus 2) = 60 2 (3 x minus 2) minus 2 (x + 5) = 60

Answer 1

Answer: 2 (x + 5) + 2 (3 x minus 2) = 60

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Length = 3 x minus 2

Width = x + 5.

Since:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 length +2 width

Replacing with the values given:

60 = 2 ( x+5)+ 2 (3x minus 2 )

So, the correct option is:

2 (x + 5) + 2 (3 x minus 2) = 60
