Step 1
In this case, the perimeter is given as 117 inches. Therefore, we can write the equation: 4x + (6x + 2) + (6x + 3) = 117 Show more…

The length of each of the two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle is 3x - 1. The length of the third side is 2x + 1. The perimeter is 55 feet. Which equation does NOT represent the perimeter? 8x - 1 = 55 6x - 2 + 2x + 1 = 55 2(3x - 1 + 2x + 1) = 55 2(3x - 1) + (2x + 1) = 55
