You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two sides of a triangle have the same length. The third side measures 3m less than twice the common length. The perimeter of the triangle is 13m.
------
Let the length of the 2 equal sides be "x" meters:
Length of 3rd side is 2x-3 meters
Equation:
x + x + 2x-3 = 13
4x = 16
x = 4 meters
2x-3 = 5 meters
--------------------------------
What is the length of the two sides that have the same length?::::4 meters
What is the length of the third side?:::: 5 meters
