Question 476175: Find the value of x and classify triangle ABC as equilateral, isosceles or scalene.
Perimeter: 75
Length of segment AB : 4 x + 13
Length of segment BC : 12 x − 11
Length of segment AC : 11 x − 8
So I drew out the different triangles.
I also put the line segments in an equation to equal 75, but I had trouble because not the line segments do not have an equation for just one line.

the segments are the sides of the triangle, and their sum is the perimeter
(4x + 13) + (12x - 11) + (11x - 8) = 75
find x , find the length of each side , classify the triangle
