Question 1005014: the perimeter of the square and triangle the same. if the square had a side length of 2x-1 and triangle has a side length of 2(2x-2),x+4,and 3x-1 what is the value of x?
i tried comboning them into an linear equation but it didn't work (example) 2(2x-2)+2x-1-x+4=3x-1

You confused one of the expressions belonging to the two figures, and you made no accounting for perimeter of the square.

This should made sense now:

the perimeter of the square and triangle the same. if the square had a side length of 2x-1 and triangle has a side length of 2(2x-2),x+4,and 3x-1 what is the value of x?
i tried comboning them into an linear equation but it didn't work (example) 2(2x-2)+2x-1-x+4=3x-1

If the 3 sides of the triangle are: 2(2x - 2); x + 4; and 3x - 1, NO SOLUTIONS exist.
