Question

A rectangular table has a length of 2x + 6 and a width of 2x − 5. What is its perimeter?

Answer 1

\[P = 2l + 2w\]

Answer 2

I am guiding you to the answer... we don't just give answers on this site.

Answer 3

l = length = 2x + 6
w = width = 2x - 5

\[P = 2l + 2w\rightarrow 2(2x+6) + 2(2x-5)=?\]

Answer 4

what is 2(2x+6)?

Answer 5

No.

Answer 6

a(b+c) = ab + ac
So therefore

2(2x+6) = 4x + 12

Answer 7

No, you have to remember the signs. 4x - 10

Answer 8

\[P = 4x + 12 + 4x - 10\]
Can you simplify that for me?

Answer 9

You CANNOT combine numbers and variables like that.

Answer 10

4x + 4x

Answer 11

12 + (-10)

Answer 12

Individually.
