Answer:

8x + 8 = 10

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2(w + h) where w is the width and h is the height.

Let x + 3 be the width (w) and 1 + 3x be the height (h)

The perimeter is therefore equal to 2((x+3) + (1 + 3x)); 2((x+3) + (1 + 3x)) = 10

Simplify:

2(4x + 4) = 10

8x + 8 = 10

Hope this helps!
