Answer:

25.2X + 3.4 centimeters.

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

= 2L + 2W

= 2(L + W)

From the question:

Width of a rectangle (W) = 9.7 X - 4.7 centimeters

Length of a rectangle (L) = 2.9 X + 6.4 centimeters

Imputing it into the formula

2(L + W)

2( 9.7X - 4.7 + 2.9X + 6.4)

2 (9.7X + 2.9X - 4.7 + 6.4)

2( 12.6X + 1.7)

= 25.2X + 3.4 centimeters.

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle = 25.2X + 3.4 centimeters.
