The measures of 2 sides of an equilateral triangle are 4x - 5 and
3x + 1. What is the measure of the third side in centimeters?

clearly, it will be either 4x-5 or 3x+1 cm.
all the sides are the same length
4 x - 5 = 3 x + 1
x = 6
so
3 x +1 = 19
4 x - 5 = 19
and of course the last one is19 :)
4 x - 5 = 3 x + 1
x = 6
so
3 x +1 = 19
4 x - 5 = 19
and of course the last one is19 :)
LOL but which ?
