Answer:

Perimeter = 20 x + 6

Explanation:

The Perimeter of rectangle = 2l + 2w

Where,

  • l is length which is (8x - 1) in
  • w is the width which is (2x + 4 ) in

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(8x -1)+ 2(2x + 4)

using Distributive property

Perimeter = 16 x - 2 + 4x + 8

Combine like terms

Perimeter = 16 x + 4x - 2 + 8

Perimeter = 20 x + 6
