Question

2 The perimeter of a square is given as 12x + 20. Write two different expressions to

represent its perimeter. Use factoring for one way.

Answer 1

The two expressions are;

4(3x + 5)

and

(6x + 10) + (6x + 10)

Explanation:

Here, we want to write two different expressions to represent the perimeter of the square

The perimeter is given as 12x + 20

Using factoring, we can have this as;

4(3x + 5)

Otherwise, we can have

(6x + 10) + (6x + 10)
