The width of a rectangle is 2 units shorter than half the length x write an expression that represents the perimeter of the rectangle

3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = x

width =  2 units shorter than half the length x

width = x/2 - 2

For rectangle

perimeter = 2(length + width)

Perimeter for given rectangle =  2(length + width)

Perimeter for given rectangle =  2(x + x/2 - 2)  = 2x + 2x/2 -4

Perimeter for given rectangle =  2x+x -4 = 3x -4

Expression that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 3x-4.
