Using the first two sides,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B12=3x%2B8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The second and the last side,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2B8=2x%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "This triangle can't be equilateral.
\n" ); document.write( "The sides must be the same so x would always come out the same independent of which pair of sides you choose.
