Hi,

Since the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to twice the length plus twice the width, what you want to do here is P = 2(8) + 2(x) = 16 + 2x

Hope this helps! If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.
