The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than a certain number of inches. Write an expression, in simplest form, to represent the perimeter of this rectangle.
2+2+5+5= 14 inches. The long sides are 5inches each. 5 is 3 less than 8. If this isn’t right I don’t know what is because there are no answer choices for the perimeter.
