Answer:

19cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle is a triangle where the length of the 3 sides are the same.

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides

for example, if the length of the side of the an equilateral triangle is 5, the perimeter is 5 x 3 = 15

let x = unknown length of side

length after increase = x + 5

(x + 5) x 3 = 72

divide both sides of the equation by 3

x + 5 = 24

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

x = 24 - 5 = 19cm

Solve -2x+3=-3x+2 and is it no solution <br>One solution or infinitely many solutions. ​
Alex73 [517]

Answer is =-1

implifying

-2x + 3 = -3x + 2

Reorder the terms:

3 + -2x = -3x + 2

Reorder the terms:

3 + -2x = 2 + -3x

Solving

3 + -2x = 2 + -3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3x' to each side of the equation.

3 + -2x + 3x = 2 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: -2x + 3x = 1x

3 + 1x = 2 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0

3 + 1x = 2 + 0

3 + 1x = 2

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 1x = 2 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 1x = 2 + -3

1x = 2 + -3

Combine like terms: 2 + -3 = -1

1x = -1

Divide each side by '1'.

x = -1

Simplifying

x = -1
