Solution

The correct option is B

10


Perimeter of the outline is the sum of the length of all the sides.
Perimeter = (x+2) + (2x+1) + (2x+10) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+3)
Group the variable and numbers,
(x + 2x + 2x + x + x + x) + (2 + 1 + 10 + 2 + 3 + 3) = (8x) + (21)
Given that, perimeter is equal to 101 cm
So, 8x + 21 = 101
Subtract 21 from both sides give,
8x + 21 - 21 = 101 - 21
8x = 80
Divide both sides by 8,
8x8 = 808

x = 10.
