Question 37561: Can someone please help with this? I don't understand!
If the length of one side of a rectangle is x/2x-5 and the width is 8/2x-5, find the perimeter of the given figure.
Would it be 6?

Answer by fractalier(6550)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The perimeter P of a rectangle is given by
P = 2L + 2W
Here that would be
P = 2(x/2x-5) + 2(8/2x-5)
P = (2x + 16) / (2x - 5)
