Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount of fencing needed as an algebraic expression in terms of x is: 10x + 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given that each rectangle has the same dimensions, the dimensions of each rectangle must be: x units by 2x + 1 units.

Based on this, we can calculate the total amount of fencing needed.

Let width of each rectangle = x

Let length of each rectangle = 2x + 1

There are 4 widths and 3 lengths in total of fencing.

Therefore:

= 4 ( x ) + 3 ( 2x + 1 )

Expand:

= 4x + 6x + 3

Group like-terms:

= 10x + 3
