Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sides.    

In an isosceles the legs are equal (2x - 6) and the base is x

Perimeter = (x) + (2x - 6) + (2x - 6)

          38  = 5x - 12

        38 + 12 = 5x

            50 =   5x

              \frac{50}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}

               10 = x
