can anyone help me with this hw question? The length of a football field is represented by `5x-12` and the width is represented by `x^{2}-4x+3` . Find the perimeter of the football field. Show work to justify your answer. Type your answer in the blank below.

snowflake0531:

\[L = 5x-12\] \[W=x^2-4x+3\] You know that perimeter is 2 times width plus 2 times length \[2(5x-12) + 2(x^2-4x+3)\] simplify that
