Answer:

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of the box = L = 2x-2

Width of the box = W = x-5

Perimeter is defined by the sum of length of all sides of the box.

Perimeter of the box = P = 2L + 2W

Perimeter of box = 2(2x-2) + 2(x-5)

Perimeter = 4x-4+2x-10

Perimeter = 6x-14

The perimeter of the box is 6x-14.

Hence,

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.

Tools are us rents leaf blowers for a base price of $24 +9 dollars per hour XYZ rentals rent leaf blowers for a base price of $1

Sidana [21]

Price per hour of first case :

$P_1 = 24 + 9a$ ( Here, a is number of hours )

Price per hour of second case :

$P_2 = 18 + 11b$ ( Here, b is number of hours )

Let, after x hours both company charges the same.

$P_1=P_2\\\\24+9x = 18 + 11x\\\\2x=6\\\\x = 3\ hours$

Hence, this is the required solution.
