Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The perimeter is the distance around a shape. To find, it, you add up all of the sides.

4x+3x-6+(-x)+10

To add this all up, let's first add all of the terms with x.

4x+3x-x

7x-x

6x

And we add up the constants.

-6+10

4

Therefore, the perimeter of this triangle is 6x+4.

Have a wonderful day! :D
