Answer:

6x + 7

Explanation:

triangle has 3 sides right, which is 2x, 3x+5 and x+2

so basically you just have to add everything up since perimeter is just the total number of each sides combined

2x + (3x+5) + (x+2)

expand from the brackets

2x + 3x + 5 + x + 2

rearrange the numbers to avoid confusion

2x + 3x + x + 5 + 2

add everything up

6x + 7
