Question

write the simplified expression for the rectangles perimeter. -9x - 2 -x + 4

Explanation:

Step1: Write the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

The perimeter formula of a rectangle is \(P = 2(l + w)\), where \(l\) is the length and \(w\) is the width. Here, \(l=-x + 4\) and \(w=-9x - 2\).

Step2: Substitute the values of length and width into the formula

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Step3: Combine like - terms inside the parentheses

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Step4: Distribute the 2

$$
LATEXBLOCK2
$$

Answer:

\(-20x + 4\)
