Answer:
16x+16

Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is all of the sides added up. On a rectangle, only 2 sides are needed to know the perimeter because measurements are equal on both sides.

1) Write equation
2*5 + 2(8x+3)
2) Distributive property and multiply
10 + 16x + 6
3) Combine like terms
16x+16
