We are given a figure and asked to find the perimeter.

Recall that the perimeter of a figure is the sum of all of its lengths.

Since we are given the lenghts of the sides of the figure, let us add them together to find the perimeter.


P=(2x)+(3x-1)+(5x+4)_{}

Simplify the equation


\begin{gathered} P=2x+3x-1+5x+4 \\ P=2x+3x+5x-1+4 \\ P=10x-1+4 \\ P=10x+3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the perimeter of the given figure is


P=10x+3

Option C is the correct answer.
