Perimeter is adding all the sides together.

2(3x+12) accounts for 2 of the longer sides.

2(5x+9) accounts for 2 of the shorter sides.

The perimeter equation can be...

2(3x+12) + 2(5x+9)

You can further simplify this by distributing the 2 to each bracket.

6x+24 + 10x+18

Add like terms.

16x + 42 is the equation for the perimeter.
