There are 3 rectangles.

In the plane, each rectangle has 2x + 7 horizontal side.

The fence covers 3 horizontal sides => 3 (2x + 7)

In the plane, the vertical sideis x. And the fence covers 4 vertical sides => 4x

Then the total amount of fecncin is: 3(2x+7) + 4x = 6x + 21 + 4x = 10x + 21

Answer: 10x + 21<span> </span>
