A rectangular garden has one side with a length of x + 7 another with a length 2x + 3

We are asked to find the perimeter of the garden

Let me draw this rectangular garden to better understand the problem

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangular shape is given by


P=2(W+L)

Where W is the width and L is the length of the rectangular garden

Let us substitute the given values into the above formula


P=2(x+7+2x+3)

Now simplify the equation


\begin{gathered} P=2(x+2x+7+3) \\ P=2(3x+10) \\ P=6x+20 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangular garden is equal to 6x + 20.
