Answer:
10y + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle or square is [length + length + width + width = perimeter or 2(length) + 2(width) = perimeter]
Our length here is y + 2. Either formula you use, [(y+2) + (y+2) or 2(y+2)] you should get the answer 2y + 4.
Next our width. The width is 4y-1. Either formula you use, [(4y-1) + (4y-1) or 2(4y-1)] you should get 8y - 2.
Then, simply add (2y+4) and (8y-2) to get 10y + 2. So, the perimeter of the garden is 10y + 2.
I hope this helps!
