the length of each of the two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle is 2x + 3. The lenght of the third side is 2x. Its perimeter is 36 centemeters. What is the equation for the value of x.
An isosceles triangle where tho of the sides have the length 2x + 3, and the third side has the length 2x ?
The perimeter is 36 cm.
2(2x + 3) + 2x = 36 Solve the paranthesis:
4x + 6 + 2x = 36 Subtract (-) 6 from both sides:
4x + 2x = 30 Add the X'es together
