Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(a+b) or 2a +2b
a=perimeter of the first side of the rectangle
b=perimeter of the second side of the rectangle
Perimeter = 2(3x+5 + 2x-1)=52
Open the bracket by multiplying the number outside by the number inside
=6x+10+4x-2=52
C.L.T ( Collect like terms), that means put the terms that have co-efficients together (those with variables "X") and those that don't have in the other side of the equation. While collecting like terms, if a number is taken to the other side, the sign changes
6x+4x=52-10+2
10x=44
D.B.S by 10, to make variable X subject
x=4.4
