The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
(x - 3)(4x + 2) = (x)(4x + 2) + (-3)(4x + 2)
= (x)(4x) + (x)(2) + (-3)(4x) + (-3)(2) = 4x² + 2x - 12x - 6
<h3>= 4x² - 10x - 6</h3>
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. So we can set up an equation:

Now solve for 'x', combine like terms:
When it comes to terms with variables it's just like normal addition but we keep the variable:


So we have:

Add:

Subtract 7x to both sides:

Subtract 4 to both sides:

Divide 5 to both sides:
Answer:
