Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:


P=2w+2l\text{.}

Where l is the length and w is the width.

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is:


P=2(3x+6)+2(2x-4)\text{.}

Simplifying the above equation we get:


\begin{gathered} P=6x+12+4x-8, \\ P=10x+4. \end{gathered}

Answer: The simplified expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is:


10x+4\text{ units.}
