perimeters are equal

rectangle perimeter =    5x-1   +   x   +   5x-1   +   x

    equals triangle perimeter    5x   +   6x+7   +   12

 

5x-1   + x   +  5x-1   + x    =    5x   +   6x+ 7   + 12       solve for 'x'   then you can compute the sides of the rect and tri

Yes, x = 21 , MS......then you use this value of x to compute the sides of the figure to calculate the perimeter of the triangle....
