length=5x+5 width=2x-1 the length is on the top and the bottom of he triagle ans the width is on both sides what is the perimeter please help asap

OpenStudy (kayla2001):

thank you for coming

OpenStudy (spyro517):

no problem

OpenStudy (kayla2001):

do you know how to do this

OpenStudy (spyro517):

doing it in my head. just making sure im doing it right

OpenStudy (spyro517):

is it suppodes to be a triangle btw? if so, can you post the image

OpenStudy (spyro517):

supposed*

OpenStudy (kayla2001):

no I cant but it is a rectangle and on the long part it is 5x+5 and on the short ends it is 2x-1 and the question is asking me to set it up and simplify it as a polynomial

OpenStudy (spyro517):

that makes it easier since its a rectangle. got confused since you said it was a triangle

OpenStudy (spyro517):

perimeter if I remember correctly is adding all the sides together. so all you have to do is set it up as a polynomial

OpenStudy (spyro517):

do you know how?

OpenStudy (kayla2001):

no I don't

OpenStudy (spyro517):

polynomial is bassically a multiple step problem. 5x+5 + 5x+5 + 2x-1 + 2x-1 should be how to set it up

OpenStudy (kayla2001):

okay

OpenStudy (spyro517):

now you just have to simplify it and you have your answer

OpenStudy (kayla2001):

it would be 14x+8 thank you so much

OpenStudy (spyro517):

your welcome

OpenStudy (kayla2001):

if I need more help you will help me?

OpenStudy (spyro517):

sure
