Answer:

Option E:
12x+28

Explanation:

You need to remember that the perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated with the following formula:


P=2l+2w

Where "l" is the lenght of the rectangle and "w" is the width of the rectangle.

In this case, you can identify from the figure that:


l=3x+14\\w=3x

So, knonwing this, you can write the following expression to represent the perimeter of the rectangle:


2(3x+14)+2(3x)

The final step is to simplify the expression. Then you get:


=6x+28+6x=12x+28

This matches with the Option E.
