    P = 8x + 2

    P = 98 when x = 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the perimeter is 2 times width + length

    P = 2 (w + l)

    w = 2x - 5

    l = 2x + 6

    replacing both terms in the perimeter:

    P = 2 (2x - 5 + 2x + 6)

    P = 2 (4x + 1)

    P = 8x + 2

    Evaluating P for x = 12

    P = 8 (12) + 2

    P = 98
