Answer:

The value of x = 9 units

Explanation:

The complete question is attached to this solution.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as

P = 2 (L + B)

L = Length of the rectangle = 3x - 1

B = Breadth of the rectangle = 2x + 3

P = Perimeter of the rectangle = 94 units

94 = 2 [(3x - 1) + (2x + 3)]

3x - 1 + 2x + 3 = (94/2) = 47

5x + 2 = 47

5x = 47 - 2 = 45

5x = 45

x = (45/5) = 9 units

Hope this Helps!!!
