Answer: 6x+6

Explanation: The equation we will be using here is Perimeter of rectangle = 2*(Length+Width) We are given that the width is 3x-2 and the length is 5. We can plug into the perimeter equation to get Perimeter = 2*(3x-2+5).

2*(3x-2+5)

2*(3x+3)

6x+6 Distributive property

Our perimeter is 6x+6 in terms of x.

Hope this helps!
