A gardener is installing fence around his garden. Let x represent the width of the garden, in feet. The perimeter of the garden is 8x + 8. Which expression represents the length of the garden?

a. 2x + 2
b. 3x + 4
c. 6x + 8
d. 8x + 8 - 2x

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2w + 2l ( w is width and l is length )

w = x and Perimeter = 8x + 8, thus

2x + 2l = 8x + 8 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2l = 6x + 8 ( divide all terms on both sides by 2 )

l = 3x + 4 → b

Answer:

b. 3x + 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2w + 2l    where w= the  width and l = the length.

So substituting  w = x we have:

2x + 2l = 8x + 8

2l = 8x - 2x + 8

2l = 6x + 8

l = 3x + 4.
