The perimeter P, of rectangle below is given by this formula. P=2x+2y. Write the formula for the perimeter of the rectangle using brackets.
+1090 I think this is asking you use the distributive property.
If you don't know the distributive propery, it's: a(b + c) = ab + ac.
In this equation, P = 2x + 2y, we can use the disributive property backwards to turn it into P = 2(x + y)
