Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 42 centimeters. The length of the rectangle can be represented by (x+4) and its width can be represented by (2x - 7). What equation would you use to solve for x? *

Answer 1

I think the answer would be 42:)

Answer 2

2(x+4) + 2(2x-7) = 42 ( If this is wrong simplify this)

Explanation:

The formula for perimeter is (2 x length) + (2 x width), so our equation would be 2(x+4) + 2(2x-7) = 42
