Answer 1

`P = 4x+4`

Explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Determine the perimeter (P)

This is calculated by adding the measure of the three sides.

So, we have:

`P = 2x-3 + x + 5 +x + 2`

Collect like terms

`P = 2x +x +x-3 + 5 + 2`

`P = 4x+4`

Factorize

`P = 4(x+1)`

Hence, the perimeter is 4x + 4 or 4(x + 1)
