Answer:

missing length = 6x - 5

Explanation:

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides.

subtract the sum of the 2 given sides from the perimeter for missing side, that is

10x - 6 - (x + 1 + 3x - 2)

= 10x - 6 - (4x - 1 ) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= 10x - 6 - 4x + 1 ← collect like terms

= 6x - 5

missing length = 6x - 5
