if the three sides of an equilateral  triangle  are  3x + 2, 2y - X and y + 3. find X and y and the perimeter  of the triangle. kindly elucidate further on this question

Reiny · Answer

equilateral ---> all sides are equal, so 3x+2 = 2y-x 4x + 2 = 2y 2x + 1 = y also 3x+2 = y + 3 3x+2 = 2x+1 + 3 x = 2 then y = 5 so each side is 3x+2 = 8 and the perimeter is 24
