Question

if the perimeter of the rectangle is represented by the expression: 2w - 3x + 9 + 6w - 2x - 10 + 2w - 3x + 9 + 6w - 2x - 10. write the simplified expression to represent the

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms for the w terms

$(2w + 6w+2w + 6w)=(2 + 6+2 + 6)w=16w$

Step2: Combine like - terms for the x terms

$(-3x-2x-3x - 2x)=(-3-2-3 - 2)x=-10x$

Step3: Combine the constant terms

$(9-10 + 9-10)=(9 + 9)-(10 + 10)=18 - 20=-2$

Answer:

$16w - 10x - 2$
