Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Rectangles have 4 sides--2 = lengths and 2 = widths, so perimeter = 2l + 2 w = 2(l + w).
l + w = (2x - 1) + (x + 3) = 3x + 2. Then double with distributive property P = 2(3x + 2)
P = 6x + 4
You could also do distributive property twice: 2(2x - 1) + 2(x + 3) = 4x - 2 + 2x + 6 = 6x + 4.
