the perimeter of the triangle at the right is 36 inches what are the length of is sides? x+2 2x+6 3x-5
-------------------------------------- 

Your equation is 

(x+2) + (2x+6) + (3x-5) = 36.

Simplify and solve:

6x + 3 = 36,

6x = 36 - 3 = 33,

x =  = 5.5.

The sides are: #1: x+2 = 5.5 + 2 = 7.5;  #2: 2x+6 = 2*5.5 + 6 = 17;  #3: 3x-5 = 3*5.5 - 5 = 11.5.
