The measures of two sides of a triangle are 7.3 centimeters and 2.94 centimeters. The triangle's perimeter is 14.8 centimeters. Which equation could not be used to find the length of the third side?

14.8 = x + 10.24
7.3 + 2.94 + x = 14.8
14.8 - x = 7.3 + 2.94
x - 14.8 = 2.94 + 7.3

x - 14.8 = 2.94 + 7.3

Because 2.94 + 7.3 = 10.24, that equation gives x - 14.8 = 10.24 so x = 25.04, but the correct x = 14.8 - 10.24 = 4.56. The other three are equivalent and give x = 4.56.
