OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

if it is a rectangle then \[ \large 23=2x+2(x+3)=4x+6 \] \[ \large 23-6=4x \] \[ \large 17=4x \] \[ \large x=17/4 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did u get 2x+2??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the 4x+6?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large 2x+2(x+3)=2x+2x+6=4x+6 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

what do u mean by "2x+2", there is no such thing in my post i wrote \[ \large 2x+2(x+3) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
