Final answer:

The expression for the perimeter of the triangle is 6x + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides.

Perimeter = (3x - 2) + (-5x) + (8x + 7)

Simplify the expression: Perimeter = 3x - 2 - 5x + 8x + 7

Combine like terms: Perimeter = 6x + 5

So, the expression for the perimeter of the triangle is 6x + 5.
