Explanation:

the perimeter of a rectangle is

2×length + 2×width

simply because the perimeter means to go along every side the shape has.

I don't see any answer options. you did not provide any. I can only give you the approach of how to solve this.

so, that means for us

2(6x + 5) + 2×3x = 100

12x + 10 + 6x = 100

18x = 90

x = 90/18 = 5
