Question 207152
The width of a rectangular playground is 2x-5 feet and the length is 3x+9 feet.
 Write a polynomial that represents the perimeter
:
The perimeter formula:
p = 2L + 2W
:
Replace L & W with given expressions
p = 2(3x+9) + 2(2x-5)
Multiply what's inside the brackets
p = 6x + 18 + 4x - 10
Combine like terms
p = 10x + 8
:
"and then evaluate this perimeter polynomial if x = 4 feet."
Replace x with 4
p = 10(4) + 8
p = 48 ft
