the perimeter of a equilateral triangle is 63 inches. If the length of each side is (4x+3), find the value of x

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since its an equilateral triangle, all the sides are equal.

SO, you can set up the equation:

3 (4x + 3) = 63

Start by disributing

12x + 9 = 63

Subtract 9 from each side to isolate the variable

12x = 54

Divide both sides by 12

x = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

each side is 21 inches long.

4x+3=21

subtract 3 from both sides

4x=18

x=4.5
