Hi,

L = (1/6)x - 1

P = 2x + 2L = 2x + (2/6)x - 2

P= (7/3)x - 2

x being the width.


Hope this helps!

Answer:

The expressions represents the perimeter of the rectangle is  [tex]\frac{7}{3}x-2[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x

We are given that The length of a rectangle is one unit shorter than one-sixth of the width x

Length of the rectangle = [tex]\frac{1}{6}x-1[/tex]

Perimeter of rectangle = [tex]2(Length +Breadth)[/tex]

                                      = [tex]2(\frac{1}{6}x-1+x)[/tex]

                                      = [tex]2(\frac{7}{6}x-1)[/tex]

                                      = [tex]\frac{7}{3}x-2[/tex]

Hence The expressions represents the perimeter of the rectangle is  [tex]\frac{7}{3}x-2[/tex] .
