Answer:
2x+2(x+5)) = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+ 2(x+5) = 24
x is represented by the shorter side. Multiply by 2 because of the 2 sides. For the longer side, since it is 5m longer than the shorter side, you have to write (x+5). Multiply by 2 because of the 2 sides. Finally, add them both together since it is the area and set it equal to 24.
