Start by representing the lengths of the three sides of your triangle:
first side: x-4 (inches)
second side: x (inches)
third side: (x-4) + 3 (inches)
Add these three quantities up to obtain a formula for the perimeter, and set your sum equal to the given perimeter (15 inches):
x-4 + x + x-4 -3 = 15
3x-11=15
3x=26
x=26/3
Thus, the length of the 2nd side is 26/3; that of the first side is 26/3-4, or 14/3; and that of the third side is 14/3+3, or 23/3 (all measurements in inches).
1.) 6x-8y=18, 2x+8y=6 → Multiplication property of equality
2.) 8x=24 → Addition property of equality
3.) x=3 → Division property of equality
4.) 3(3)-4y=9 → Substitution property of equality
5.) 9-4y=9 → Simplify
6.) -4y=0 → Subtraction property of equality
7.) y=0 → Division property of equality
