Answer

$$\frac{4x^2+18x}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}$$

Work Step by Step

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the sum of twice the length of each of the adjacent sides. Doing this, we find: $$\frac{2x}{x+4}+\frac{2x}{x+5}\\ \frac{2x\left(x+5\right)+2x\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)} \\ \frac{4x^2+18x}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}$$
