Answer:

Perimeter A = 24x - 36

Perimeter B = 17x - 1

Explanation:

garden A

Width (W) = 2x - 3

Length (L) = 5(W)

= 5 (2x - 3)

= 10x - 15

Perimeter A = 2L + 2W (perimeter of a rectangular garden)

= 2(10x - 15) + 2(2x - 3)

= 20x - 30 + 4x - 6

= 24x - 36

garden B

side 1 = 5x + 5

side 2 = 4x + 2

side 3 = 8x - 8

Perimeter B = sides (1 + 2 + 3)

= 5x+5 + 4x+2 + 8x-8

= 5x + 4x + 8x + 5 + 2 - 8

= 17x - 1

Explanation:

garden a:

perimeter=2xlength+2xwidth = 2x(5x(2x-3))+2x(2x-3) = 20x-30 + 4x-6 = 24x-36 / 12(2x-3) feet

garden b:

perimeter= 5x+5 + 4x+2 + 8x-8 = 17x - 1 feet
