Class 8Algebraic Expressions and IdentitiesAlgebra
  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D

Step-by-Step Solution

Perimeter = sum of the three sides. terms: . Constants: 1 − 4 + 6 = 3. So the perimeter is cm. Treating −4 as +4 gives ; doubling the sum (a rectangle habit) gives ; forgetting the lone in gives .
Answer: C)

Key idea: Adding and subtracting expressions

Combine **like terms only** — same variables and same powers.

Example: .

For subtraction, distribute the minus sign first:
.
