Tina has two rectangular playpens to keep her new pet dogs. The first rectangle has a width of 6 feet and a length of x - 4 feet. The second rectangle has a width of 8 feet and a length of x + 2 feet. What is the sum of the two perimeters?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4x+24 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of first rectangular playpen mentioned: 2(6+x-4), which can be simplified to 2(x+2) = 2x + 4.

Perimeter of second playpen mentioned: 2(8+x+2), which can be simplified to 2(x+10) = 2x+20.

Add these two together: 2x+4 + 2x+20 = 4x+24. Don't forget to add units: 4x+24 ft.
