Answer:

Perimeter =
(30-(3)/(2)x)

Explanation:

Width of the rectangle has been given as
(5-(1)/(4)x).

Convert the statement into the algebraic expression,

"Length of the rectangle is twice the width"

Length = 2(Width)

=
2(5-(1)/(4)x)

=
10-(1)/(2)x

Since perimeter of a rectangle is given by the expression,

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

By substituting the values of length and width in the expression,

Perimeter =
2[(5-(1)/(4)x)+(10-(1)/(2)x)]

=
2(15-(3)/(4)x)

=
(30-(3)/(2)x)

Therefore, expression representing perimeter is
(30-(3)/(2)x).
