Question 234650
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


In the first place, you don't have an <u>equation</u> for each side.  There is an <u>expression</u> for each side.  Equations have equal signs in them.


Since this is an equilateral triangle, all three sides are of equal measure.  That's what the word 'equilateral' means.


So you can say:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x\ +\ 2y\ =\ 5y\ -\ 1]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x\ +\ 2y\ =\ 6x\ -\ 1]


Simplify:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \,3x\ -\ 3y\ =\ -1]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -3x\ +\ 2y\ =\ -1]


Solve for *[tex \Large x] and *[tex \Large y].  I recommend you use the elimination method.
