\begin{gathered} 1) \\ Perimeter=4\cdot L \\ L=4x-2 \\ \text{Perimeter =4}\cdot(4x-2) \\ \text{Perimeter = 16x-8} \\ 2) \\ A=length\cdot width \\ A=(3x+1)\cdot(6) \\ A=18x+6 \\ x=2.5 \\ A=18\cdot(2.5)+6 \\ A=45+6 \\ A=51 \\ 3) \\ A=length\cdot width \\ 8x-12=length\cdot(4) \\ length=(8x-12)/(4) \\ length=(4(2x-3))/(4) \\ length=2x-3 \\ 4) \\ rec\tan gle´s\text{ perimeter=2}length+2width \\ 4x+14=2\cdot(x+5)+2width \\ 4x+14=2x+10+2width \\ 2width=4x+14-2x-10 \\ 2width=2x+4 \\ width=(2x+4)/(2) \\ width=(2(x+2))/(2) \\ width=x+2 \end{gathered}
