The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 9 inches more than the perimeter of a​ square, and the side of the triangle is 6 inches longer than the side of the square. Find the side of the triangle.

 

The perimeter of the square is:   4x 

 

The perimeter of the triangle is:   3 ( x + 6 )      or       4x + 9

 

4x + 9 = 3 ( x + 6 ) smiley
