Determine a simplified expression to represent both the perimeter and the area of this flag.

A rectangular flag is constructed with a length of 5 times x squared, and a width of 7 times x plus 12.

 

 Recall

The formulas for perimeter and area of a rectangle:

\(P=2l+2w\) or \(P=2(l+w)\)

and

\(A=l\times w\).
