Juan plans to put a fence around his rectangular garden. The length of

the garden is (2x - 5) feet and the width of the garden is (x + 3) feet.

How much fencing will Juan need to surround the entire garden?

Answer: the length of fencing that Juan needs to surround the entire garden is 6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a plane shape is the distance round the shape. The garden is rectangular in shape.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

The length of the garden is (2x - 5) feet and the width of the garden is (x + 3) feet. The length of fencing that Juan would need is

2[ (2x - 5) + (x + 3) ]

= 2 (2x + x - 5 + 3)

= 2 (3x - 2)

= 6x - 4
