Answer:

8x + 20 or 4(2x + 5)

Explanation:

Perimeter equals length + width times 2. If the width is 3x + 4, and the length is x+6, you first add 3x + 4 + x + 6. You first add the like terms, 3x and x, which is 4x. Now you add 4 and 6, which equals ten. Now, you get 4x + 10. Lastly, you have to multiply it by two. 4x + 10 + 4x + 10 equals to 8x + 20. You add up the like terms 4x and 4x and 10 and 10, to get the total of 8x + 20.
