GIVEN

A rectangle with length (x + 6) units and width (y - 1) units.

TO FIND

The perimeter of the rectangle.

SOLUTION

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

$P=2\left(l+w\right)$

Substitute the values of the length and width into the formula:

Simplify:

$\begin{gathered} P=2(x+y+5) \\ P=2x+2y+10 \end{gathered}$
