The length of each side is 28 cm. 
the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 48 cm. To find each side of the original triangle, you do 48/3=16cm. since the triangle dilate by 0.75, then you can just do 0.75*16=12cm. then you have to add 12 to 16 because the triangle gets bigger by 12 cm. so 16+12=28 cm.

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{69}{2}\to x=-34\dfrac{1}{2}\to x=-34.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{3}{4}=5+\dfrac{5}{6}x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by LCD = 12}\\\\12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^4\cdot\dfrac{2}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}x-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^3\cdot\dfrac{3}{4\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(12)(5)+12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{5}{6\!\!\!\diagup_1}x\\\\(4)(2x)-(3)(3)=60+(2)(5x)\\\\8x-9=60+10x\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\8x-9+9=60+9+10x\\\\8x=69+10x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-10x=69+10x-10x\\\\-2x=69\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\x=-\dfrac{69}{2}
