An equilateral triangle has a side of length 2x-3.Its perimeter is 33 inches.Find then lwngth of each side

Answer 1

The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of all three sides.

Let's denote the length of each side as "s".

Since the triangle is equilateral, all sides have the same length, so:

s + s + s = 33

Simplifying the equation:

3s = 33

Dividing both sides by 3:

s = 11

Now we can substitute this value back into the expression for the side length:

2x-3 = 11

Solving for x:

2x = 14

x = 7

Therefore, the length of each side of the equilateral triangle is 11 inches.

Answer 2

What a convoluting answer by the bot !!

3(2x - 3) = 33
2x - 3 = 11
2x = 14
x = 7

so each side is 2x-3 = 11
