Answer:

The coefficient of x is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P = 2(x+8) + 2(3x)[/tex] --- Perimeter

Required

Determine the coefficient of x

[tex]P = 2(x+8) + 2(3x)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]P = 2x + 16 + 6x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]P = 2x + 6x+ 16[/tex]

[tex]P = 8x+ 16[/tex]

The coefficient of x is 8
