anonymous · Answer

what do we know about equilateral triangle ?

anonymous · Answer

all sides have same length
so we can set them equal to each other 
 12x - 12= 6x +12
6x= +24
x=4

plug into one sides

 12x - 12
48-12=36 

*notes we should get same number if we plug into different expression
