Answer

$c(x)=12x$

Work Step by Step

The length of a side is $x$. The fencing for two sides (east and west side) cost 4 per foot, therefore it costs $4x$ for each. The fencing for two sides (north and south side) cost 2 per foot, therefore it costs $2x$ for each. The cost of the fencing for all sides is $c(x)=2*4x+2*2x=8x+4x=12x$
