A rectangle has four sides, two of one length and two of another. So you would create this equation to solve the problem:
2(3x-4) + 2(7x + 10)
The first half would reduce to:
6x - 8
And the second half:
14x + 20
Then you add them together:
6x - 8 + 14x + 20
And solve the common variables:
20x + 12
And your final answer would be:
p (perimeter) = 20x + 12
A rectangle has sides of 3x – 4 and 7x + 10. Find the expression that represents its perimeter.
