The sides of the equilateral are given in cm. 3x 2,2y-x,y 3. Find x and y and the perimeter of the triangle

3 answers

Since all the sides are equal, we have

3x 2 = 2y-x
2y-x = y 3

Fix your typos and then solve for x and y. If I assume that your "+" key is not working, then we have

3x+2 = 2y-x
2y-x = y+3

(x,y) = (2,5)
So, the sides are 8 and p=24.
What if they ask you to look for the value of x only
