You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The sides are 4x-4 and 8x+10.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "There are two ways to express a rectangle. Perimeter or Area. You did not specify
\n" ); document.write( "Let W = 4x-4
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "L = 8x + 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Area:
\n" ); document.write( "A = L * W
\n" ); document.write( "A = (4x - 4) * (3x + 10)
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "A = 12x^2 + 40x - 12x - 40
\n" ); document.write( "A = 12x^2 + 28x - 40
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter:
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2L + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(8x+10) + 2(4x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply what's inside the brackets
\n" ); document.write( "P = 16x + 20 + 8x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "P = 24x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
