Find an expression that represents its perimeter. (2x+1)/(5) Length (4)/(3x+1) Width
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know that perimeter = 2L + 2W, therefore we have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28%282x%2B1%29%2F%285%29%29\"$ + $\"2%28%284%29%2F%283x%2B1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying what's inside the brackets:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%284x%2B2%29%29%2F%285%29\"$ + $\"%288%29%2F%28%283x%2B1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Arrange over a single common denominator and we have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%283x%2B1%29%284x%2B2%29+%2B+5%288%29%29%2F%285%283x%2B1%29%29\"$ = $\"%28%2812x%5E2+%2B+10x+%2B2%29+%2B+40%29%2F%285%283x%2B1%29%29\"$ = $\"%2812x%5E2+%2B+10x+%2B+42%29%2F%285%283x%2B1%29%29\"$ = $\"2%286x%5E2+%2B+5x+%2B+21%29%2F%285%283x%2B1%29%29\"$
