The sides of the equilateral triangle is 3x+2,2y-x and y+3 find x and y.and the perimeter of the triangle
i didnt get it
3x+2 = 2y-x
3x+2 = y+3
Collect like terms
4x-2y = -2 ---eqn1
3x-y = 1 ---eqn2
Using elimination method
Multiply (eqn 2) by 2
6x-2y = 2 ---eqn3
4x -2y = -2 ---eqn2
_______________
2x = 4
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x
x = 2
Then substitute (2 for x) in eqn 3
6(2)-2y = 2
12-2y = 2
-2y = 2-12
-2y = -10
Divide both sides by -2
y = 5
P= a+b+c
3x+2 = 8cm
2y-x = 8cm
y+3 = 8cm
Perimeter= 24cm
That's the correct answer
I dont understand
2x-y=2
I am the one who ask the question

i do not like the answer
I didn't understand the answer
well, since all the sides are the same length, we just have to solve
3x+2 = 2y-x
3x+2 = y+3
4x-2y = -2
3x-y = 1
Find x and y, and then you can find the perimeter.
