Question

A garden is 20 feet long by 8 feet wide. The length and width of the garden will each be increased by the same number of feet. This expression represents the perimeter of the larger garden:
(x + 20) + (x + 8) + (x + 20) + (x + 8)
Which expression is equivalent to the expression for the perimeter of the larger garden?
Select all that apply.

A. 4x + 56

B. 2(2x + 28)

C. 2(x + 20)(x + 8)

D. 4(x + 20)(x + 8)

E. 2(x + 20) + 2(x + 8)

Answer 1

The answer is C hope it helped

Answer 2

The correct answer is C because the problem showed ( x + 20 ) and ( x + 8 ) two times in the problem. That explains why there is a two outside of the parentheses.
