An art class is making a mural for their school which has a triangle drawn in the middle. The length of the bottom of the triangle is x. Another side is 5 more than twotwo times the length of the bottom of the triangle. The last side is 6 more than the bottom of the triangle. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the triangle.
-----------------
base = x
2nd side:: 2x+5
3rd side:: x + 6
-----------------
Perimeter = x + 2x+5 + x+6 = 4x + 11
