Final answer:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle with given width and length, we need to add up all the sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to add up all the sides. In this case, we have two sides for the length and two sides for the width. Let's calculate:

Length: 2.5x + 10

Width: 4x - 2.5

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

Perimeter = 2(2.5x + 10) + 2(4x - 2.5)

Perimeter = 5x + 20 + 8x - 5

Perimeter = 13x + 15

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 13x + 15 feet.
