Let's just ignore memorizing any formulas for perimeters of a rectangle and just remember this!!
The opposite sides are the same right? and there are 2 pairs? that's why we just need to find one side in each pair and multiply the sum of them by 2!
Here we already know what 2 of the sides are! Therefore we find the sum.
((5/4)x+3)+3x-2= (17/4)x+1
Then we need to multiply this sum by 2
((17/4)x+1)*2=(17/2)*x+2
*Note I left the result as a fraction not a mixed number because this is how you are suppose to write it in higher math but if your teacher wants you to convert it into a mixed number, then go ahead!
Hope this helped!!
