Question 267114: The measure of the length of a field is 3x + 4 feet and the measure of the width of the field is x + 7 feet. Find an expression for its perimeter.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Since we know perimeter is the distance around a shape we can do this:
2(3x + 4)+2(x + 7)This can be rewritten as:
6x+8+2x+14 Combine like terms would give us:
8x+22
There we go.
