Question

A gardener is installing fence around his garden. Let x represent the width of the garden, in feet. The perimeter of the garden is 8x + 8. Which expression represents the length of the garden?

2x + 2
3x + 4
6x + 8
8x + 8 – 2x

Answer 1

10x+8

Explanation:

i dont have one

Answer 2

B 3x+2

Explanation:

perimiter=2L+2W

P=2(L+W)

if x=width then

P=2(L+x)

P=8x+8

hmm

8x+8=2(L+x)

distribute

8x+8=2L+2x

minus 2x both sides

6x+8=2L

divide both sides by 2

3x+4=L

the length is 3x+4
