Question

the length of a rectangle is 5 more than its width ,w. Which expression represents the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of to times the wide times the length so the correct expression is:

`P=2x+2(x+5)`

and we can simplify it so:

`\begin{gathered} P=2x+2x+10 \\ P=4x+10 \end{gathered}`
