Answer:
16x - 4
Explanation:
Framing an expression:
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, add all the sides.

= 7x + 1 + x - 3 + 7x + 1 + x - 3
Combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same power. Here, 7x,7x ,x, x are the like terms and 1 , (-3),1, (-3) are constants.
= 7x + x + 7x + x + 1 - 3 +1 - 3
= 16x - 4
