Each side of an equilateral triangle is five less than twice a number. what is the perimeter of the triangle? ? plz i will give you 100 points

This is impossible, because if the number is x, then 2x-5 is a side of the triangle. Because it is an equilateral triangle, the perimeter would be 3(2x-5)=6x-15. Since we don't know what x is, it is impossible to determine the perimeter.

i think the equation is 2x - 5

step-by-step explanation:

is their an equation anywhere i can take a   look at it and see if i am right.

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
