Well, what is the perimeter? Does it tell you what the perimeter is? If not, i can't help:(
The coordinates of △ABC are A(12,8), B(10,18), C(4,16) . After a dilation, the coordinates are A'(6,4), B'(5,9), C'(2,8) A′(6,4)

Take note of that every single coordinate had their values divided by 2 after the dilation. Therefore, the scaling factor is 1/2, or .5

Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x
