Answer: The perimeter should be 22x + 1

Explanation:

-In order to find the perimeter, you have to combine like terms:


( 8x+2), (5x-4), (9x+3)

-You first add up the integers that have the variable
x :


8x+5x+9x=22x

-Then, you add up the integers that don't have the variable
x :


2-4+3=1

-Result:


22x+1
