Answer:
Perimeter = [tex]\frac{12x}{5}-4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of a rectangle is l and width is w.
Then the expression which represents the perimeter is
P = 2(l + w)
It is given in the question length of the rectangle = l and width = x
and l = [tex]\frac{x}{5}-2[/tex]
By replacing these values in the expression for the perimeter
P = [tex]2[\frac{x}{5}-2+x][/tex]
= [tex]2[\frac{6x}{5}-2][/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12x}{5}-4[/tex]
Therefore, expression that represents the perimeter of the rectangle will be
Perimeter = [tex]\frac{12x}{5}-4[/tex]
