Question

Write and solve an equation to find the value of x.
THEN Using your answer, find the perimeter of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter of the triangle is 58

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation

(x+3)2+(2x-1)2=(x-7)+(4x-8)+(3x+1)

2x+6+4x-2=x-7+4x-8+3x+1

combine like terms

6x+4=8x-14

18=2x

x=9

now we substitute in the expression to find the perimeter

9-7=2

36-8=28

27+1=28

2+28+28=30+28=58
