the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2L%2B2W where L is the length and W is the width
the perimeter of a rectangular area rug that is L=%285%2Bx%29%2F2 feet long and W=%282x-1%29%2F3+feet wide will be:
P=cross%282%29%285%2Bx%29%2Fcross%282%29%2B2%282x-1%29%2F3
P=%285%2Bx%29%2B%284x-2%29%2F3
P=%283%285%2Bx%29%2B%284x-2%29%29%2F3
P=%2815%2B3x%2B4x-2%29%2F3
P=%287x%2B13%29%2F3
