The expression representing the perimeter is 6x + 39

x = 3. 8

<h3>What is the perimeter?</h3>

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is given as;

Perimeter = 2 ( length + width)

From the image shown, we have that:

Now, let's substitute the value

Perimeter = 2 ( 2x + x + 13)

collect like terms

Perimeter = 2 ( 3x + 13)

Expand the bracket

Perimeter = 6x + 39

If perimeter = 62

62 = 6x + 39

6x = 62 - 39

6x = 23

x = 23/ 6

x = 3. 8

Thus, the expression representing the perimeter is 6x + 39
