Question

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is 4 inches less than the length of one of the two equal sides of the triangles. If the perimeter is 32, find the three sides of the triangle.

If x represents one of the equal sides of the triangle, then which equation can be used to solve the problem?



3x - 4 = 32

3x + 4 = 32

2x - 4 = 32

Answer 1

x + x + x - 4 = 32

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation and see if what you get for the equation looks like any of the options. @xo_kansasprincess_xo
