Answer:

Last option:
12x+28

Explanation:

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

Then, you can write the following expression to represent the perimeter of the rectangle:


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

Finally you must simplify the expression; then you get:


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