The expression that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 22b + 22 cm.

To find the perimeter of the rectangle, sum the lengths of all its sides. With two sides measuring (3b + 5) cm in width and two sides measuring (8b + 6) cm in length, the expression representing the rectangle's perimeter is obtained by combining these dimensions:

Perimeter = 2 * (3b + 5) + 2 * (8b + 6)

Simplifying this expression, we get:

Perimeter = 6b + 10 + 16b + 12

Combining like terms, we get:

Perimeter = 22b + 22

So, the expression that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 22b + 22 cm.

Complete ques:

The width of a rectangle measures (3b+5) centimeters, and its length measures (8b+6) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?
