Perimeter = the sum of the outer sides

#1. P = (2x + 3) + (2x + 3) + (5x - 1) + (5x - 1) + (x - 7)

#2. P = 2(2x + 3) + 2(5x - 1) + (x - 7)

#3. P = 4x + 6 + 10x - 2 + x - 7

#4. P = 15x - 3

A. Correct - equivalent to #2

B. Incorrect - does not include all of the sides

C. Correct - equivalent to #1

D. Incorrect

E. Incorrect

F. Correct - equivalent to #4

Hope this helps!
