Perimeter of the figure = 6x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

length = 2x + 3 inches

width = x- 6 inches

Perimeter = 2(2x + 3 + x- 6)

collect like terms in the bracket:

= 2(2x +x + 3 - 6)

= 2(3x - 3)

Expand the bracket:

Perimeter = 2 × 3x + 2× -3

Perimeter of the figure = 6x - 6
