so there is a triangle. The perimeter = 29 units all together! one of the sides is 4 units longer than the 1st side, and the third side is 3 times longer than the other side. So you would have to solve for x!
:
Let x = the 1st side
:
"one of the sides is 4 units longer than the 1st side,"
(x+4) = the other side
:
"the third side is 3 times longer than the other side."
3(x+4) = the third side
:
x + (x+4) + 3(x+4) = 29
x + x + 4 + 3x + 12 = 29
5x + 16 = 29
5x = 29 - 16
5x = 13
x =
x = 2.6
