TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

To find the perimeter you have to add up all the sides.

9...:/

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

so x-3+x+2+x+4=??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(x+1)???

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You can rearrange it to become x+x+x-3+2+4

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Which would become 3x+3 or 3(x+1)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

But the answer should just be 3x+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm so 3x+3 :/

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yes..
