Question 275769: The measure of a triangle is 3x+1. Find its perimeter. Please help these are the exact words to the problem in my book and i cannot fathom how to solve this, thanks! Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The fact that only one side measure is given tells me that this must be an equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle has the same side measure on all three sides.
Let P = perimeter
P = 3(3x + 1)
P = 9x + 3
