Question
- write the perimeter of the triangle as a simplified
2x - 5
5 - x
3x - 2
part ii: translating fxnnressionea
Step1: Recall the formula for perimeter
Perimeter of a triangle \(P=a + b + c\), where \(a,b,c\) are side lengths.
Here \(a = 2x-5\), \(b=5 - x\), \(c = 3x-2\).
So \(P=(2x-5)+(5 - x)+(3x-2)\).
Step2: Remove parentheses
\(P=2x-5 + 5 - x+3x-2\).
Step3: Combine like - terms
For \(x\) terms: \(2x-x + 3x=(2 - 1+3)x=4x\).
For constant terms: \(-5 + 5-2=-2\).
