Hi there!
Since the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is length×2 + width × 2, we can follow this rule.
2 (4x + 5) + 2 (8x - 4)
= 8x + 10 + 16x - 8
= 24x + 2
So, the perimeter is 24x + 2.
Hope this helps!
For simple integer factors as this one has, you want to find two values for the quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c. Let the two values be j and k. These two values must satisfy two conditions.
jk=ac=10 and j+k=b=11, so j and k must be 1 and 10.
Now replace bx with jx and kx...
2x^2+x+10x+5 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms.
x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)
(x+5)(2x+1)
