Answer 1

Answer:

$P = 4x+4$

Step-by-step 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)
