Question

find the perimeter of the rectangle.
x + 2
x + 5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

$P=2(l + w)$ (where $l$ is length and $w$ is width)

Step2: Identify length and width

$l=x + 5$, $w=x + 2$

Step3: Substitute into formula

$P = 2((x + 5)+(x + 2))$

Step4: Simplify inside parentheses

$P=2(x + 5+x + 2)=2(2x + 7)$

Step5: Distribute 2

$P = 4x+14$

Answer:

$4x + 14$
