A rectangle has a length of 3x inches. The width of the rectangle is (2x+6) inches more than the length. A) Find the perimeter of the rectangle in terms of X. B) If x=3, find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Respuesta :

perimeter = 2*(length +width)
perimeter = 2*(3x + (3x +(2x+6)))
.. = 2*(3x +3x +2x +6)
.. = 2*(8x +6)
perimeter = 16x +12

If x=3, the perimeter is 16*3 +12 = 60 inches.
