Answer:

50x +11

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the 5 sides. Sides marked with the same symbol have the same length. We can use multiplication to simplify the repeated addition.

P= (14x +13) +2(12x +3) +2(6x -4)

P = (14 +2·12 +2·6)x +(13 +2·3 +2(-4))

P = 50x +11

The perimeter of the house is 50x +11.
