Answer:

So each side length is 4s+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the triangle is an equilateral triangle, we know the perimeter of the triangle is given by since all the sides are the same length

P = 3s where s is the side length

12x+18 = 3s

Divide each side by 3

12x/3 + 18/3 = 3s/3

4s +6 = s

So each side length is 4s+6
