Answer:
P = 4(2x + 5)
P = (2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Perimeter of square = 4 * s
Where s = side length
If perimeter, P = 8x + 20
Then,
4s = 8x + 20
Divide both sides by 4
4s / 4 = (8x + 20) / 4
s = 2x + 5
P = 4s
P = 4(2x + 5)
Or
P = 2x + 5 in 4 places
P = (2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)
