We can't use P = 2L + 2W because the sides have different lengths.
P = a + b + c + d
a = x
b = 2x
c = 2x - 2
d = x + 5
P = x + 2x + (2x - 2) + (x + 5)
P = <u>x + 2x + 2x</u> - 2 <u>+ x</u> + 5
P = 6x + 3
if x = 4:
P = 6 · 4 + 3
P = 24 + 3
P = 27
If you put brackets around (2+1), your method of working is:
1) 15-4*(2+1)=3
2) 15-4*3=3
3) 15-12=3
You don't need any more brackets, as the BIDMAS (brackets, Indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) rule does the rest of the job for you.
The answer is therefore: 15-4*(2+1)=3

Move the decimal to the left twice.
35%
35.0
.35
(this is the equivalent of dividing the number by 100)
