The perimeter equation for a rectangle is this:
P = 2*L + 2*H
So for a length of x%2F%282x-5%29 and height 8%2F%282x-5%29 we get:
P = 2*x%2F%282x-5%29 + 2*8%2F%282x-5%29
P = 2x%2F%282x-5%29 + 16%2F%282x-5%29
P = %282x%2B16%29%2F%282x-5%29
Since the numerator and denominator do not have any common factors, we are done.
