Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is the sum of side lengths:
P = 5*2 + (x + 1 )*2 + 2x - 3
= 10 + 2x + 2 + 2x - 3
= 4x + 9
Perimeter of the top of the house :---
[tex](x + 1) + (2x - 3) + (x + 1) + 5 + 5 \\ = x + 1 + 2x - 3 + x + 1 + 5 + 5 \\ = \boxed{ 4x + 9}[/tex]
Expression for the perimeter is (4x+9).
