the expression for the perimeter would be

2(x) + 2(2x+7)

which can be simplified to 2x+4x+14

which equals 6x+14

Answer: P = 2w + 2(2w + 7)

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for the value of the length:

Length: 2w + 7

Where w is the length

Applying the perimeter formula:

Perimeter: 2w + 2 L

Where L is the length,

Replacing with the values given:

P = 2w + 2(2w + 7)

Simplifying:

P =2w + 2 (2w) + 2 (7)

P = 2w +4w+14

P = 6W +14

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
