Question

The length of a rectangle is represented by (6x - 2), and the width is represented by (x - 1). Which expression best
represents the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{\boxed{ \sf{14x - 6}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of a rectangle ( l ) = 6x - 2

Width of a rectangle ( w ) = x - 1

Perimeter of a rectangle ( P ) = ?

Finding the expressions that represents the perimeter of the rectangle

$\boxed{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 2(l + w)}}$

⇒$\sf{2(6x - 2 + x - 1)}$

Collect like terms

⇒$\sf{2(7x - 2 - 1)}$

Calculate

⇒$\sf{2(7x - 3)}$

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒$\sf{14x - 6}$

Hope I helped!
