Question 567400
one side of an equilateral triangle increased by 11 is 33 less than three times another side. if the sides are measured in inches, what are the measures of the three sides of the triangle?
:
x = the length of the 3 sides of the equilateral triangle
:
"one side of an equilateral triangle increased by 11 is 33 less than three times another side." 
x + 11 = 3x - 33
11 + 33 = 3x - x
44 = 2x
x = 22 inches
