Answer :

Here!
(x+4)+(x+2)+(x+5)= (x+1)+(x+1)+(x+3)+(x+3)
First you want to write the whole equation out. Make each perimeter equal to each other.
Then add both sides separately.
 (x+4)+(x+2)+(x+5)
=3x+11

and

(x+1)+(x+1)+(x+3)+(x+3)
=4x+8

Now that you've simplified each side, solve like a normal equation.
3x+11 = 4x+8 
-3x        -3x 
11 = x+8 
 -8       -8  
 3=x
