Perimeter = 2L + 2W 

 

L being the length, W being the width.

 

So:

 

if the Length is 8cm more than twice the width, we have:

 

2W+8

 

so it's:

 

perimeter of a rectange = 2(2W+8)+2W

 

You asked me not to simplify it, so that should be your answer.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

It is 2l+2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

However, we can write l in terms of w, because it says so up in the question.

 

l=2w+8 because twice the width is 2w, and we add 8.

w=w

 

Substituting, we get 2(2w+8)+2(w)=2(2w+8)+2w.

According to you, we should not simplify.

 

You are very welcome!
