Answer:

5x +5

Explanation:

The unknown side can be found using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(L +W) . . . . . where L, W are the length and width

Filling in the given information, we can solve for L:

14x +6 = 2(L +2x -2)

7x +3 = L +2x -2 . . . . . . divide by 2

5x +5 = L . . . . . . . . . . . . add 2-2x

The length of the missing side is 5x+5.
