Answer: The perimeter would be 2(x+1) + 2(x+6) or 4x + 14
Such a rectangle does not really exist!
If you factor and solve for x, you get {-1,-6} Real Rectangles cannot have negative dimensions.
Step-by-step explanation: Factoring to find out which theoretical dimensions were multiplied to get the imaginary area you get (x + 1) and (x + 6).
Perimeter is Twice the length plus Twice the width. So substitute the "dimensions" into the formula to get 2(x+1) + 2(x+6) distribute and simplify
2x + 2 + 2x + 12 = 4x + 14
