the perimeter of a rectangle is 8x+2 and the width is x+2. Express the area as a trinomial.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Given the Perimeter:
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2W = 8x+2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Given the width as (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2(x+2) = 8x+2
\n" ); document.write( "Find L
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2x + 4 = 8x+2
\n" ); document.write( "2L = 8x - 2x + 2 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "2L = 6x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "L = 3x - 1; divided equation by 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Area = L * W
\n" ); document.write( "Area = (3x-1)*(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 3x^2 + 6x - x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 3x^2 + 5x - 2, is the trinomial representing the area
\n" ); document.write( ":
