Question 39211: Perimeter of a rectangle.
Question: the width of a rectangular playground is 2x - 5 feet, and the length is 3x + 9 feet. Write polynomial P(x) that represents the perimeter and then evaluate this perimeter polynomial if x is 4 feet.
I dont even know where to begin in solving this

Perimeter is twice the length plug twice the width.
P(x)=2(2x-5)+2(3x+9)
P(x)=4x-10+6x+18
P(x)=10x+8
P(4)=10(4)+8
P(4)=48ft.
