Given:

Rectangle CARD: {length = 2x-5 and width = 6x+10}

Triangle BEST: {length = 10x+3 and width = 4x-7}

To find the differnce, let's first the perimeter of both.

Perimeter of rectangle CARD: 2(length + width)

= 2(2x - 5 + 6x + 10)

= 2(2x + 6x - 5 + 10)

= 2(8x + 5)

= 16x + 10

Perimeter of triangle BEST: 2(length + width)

2(10x + 3 + 4x - 7)

= 2(10x + 4x + 3 - 7)

= 2(14x - 4)

= 28x - 8

Therfore, the difference between both of them is calculated below:

(28x - 8) - (16x + 10)

= 28x - 8 - 16x + 10

= 28x - 16x - 8 10

= 12x - 18

ANSWER:

12x -
