You would do 4 divided by 3. Which is 1.33 with repeating 3s. You would then round to the nearest hundredth which would 1.33. You can multiply 1.33 and 3 to check your work. Although it might not exactly 4 it is not that big of a deal.
Hope this helps!
It's 5.4- I just used the calculator on my phone but I would've just done long division if I didn't have a calculator
Answer: Perimeter = 2(L + W) and
as a simplified expression is, 8x + 2
Step-by-step explanation: The length is represented by L and the width is represented by W in the expression above.
However, since we have been given the sides of the rectangle as x + 2 and 3x - 1, we shall substitute for the values of these in the expression representing the perimeter.
2(L + W) can now be written as
2( {x + 2} + {3x - 1} )
2(x + 2 + 3x - 1)
By collecting like terms, we now have
2(4x + 1)
8x + 2.
The expression can now be simplified as 8x + 2
There really isn't any distributing done, as the perimeter is the total length of the shape, and since this is a rectangle it has two two equal sides, 7+7=14 and 13+13=26, 14+26=40 inches
Could you give me just one equation if you could?
