Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is equilateral, all the sides are equal. so you can make your equation

3(2x-3)=21

Distribute the 3 throughout, giving you 6x-3=21

Subtract the 3 from both sides, and you are left with 6x=18

Divide 18 by 6 and you get 3.

x=\frac{-{\color{#e8710a}{b}} \pm \sqrt{{\color{#e8710a}{b}}^{2}-4{\color{#c92786}{a}}{\color{#129eaf}{c}}}}{2{\color{#c92786}{a}}}

x=2a−b±b2−4ac​​

Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.
