x=6
so i believe the answer would be
18+12+12 which equals 42
im not for sure though but thats how i think you would do it
If BC = 12, then each side = 12 and the
perimeter would be 3 * 12 = 36. please
check your problem.
I think Troy has a typo
and it should say
BC = 2x+12
so 3x = 2x+12
x = 12
any other interpretation will lead to a contradiction, since the triangle is equilateral.
perimeter = 36
