Answer:

C

Explanation:

Area is W×L. The area of the rectangle is 6x^(2) + 7x - 3.

So we write that as 6x^(2) + 7x - 3 = W×L

We can factor 6x^(2) + 7x - 3 to see the width and length.

Then, you get (2x + 3) (3x - 1) = W × L

Now you have to values for width and length

The formula for perimeter is 2W + 2L, you can choose which is width and which is length

Next, substitute the values in the formula: 2(2x + 3) + 2(3x - 1) and solve it. Done! :)
