"The width of a rectangular playground is 2x-5 feet, and the length is 3x+9 feet. Write a polynomial P(x) that represents the perimeter and then evaluate this perimeter polynomial if x is 4 feet."
2x - 5 = width
3x + 9 = length
P = 2(2x - 5) + 2(3x + 9) {perimeter of a rectangle = 2(width + 2(length)}
P = 4x - 10 + 6x + 18 {used distributive property}
P = 10x + 8 {combined like terms}
If x = 4
10x + 8
= 10(4) + 8 {substituted 4 in for x}
= 40 + 8 {multiplied 10 by 4}
= 48
