Answer to Problem 8CST

The value of x is 3 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The sides of the triangle are x+2 , 3x−4 and 5 .

Formula used:

The perimeter of the triangle is:

  P=a+b+c where a,b and c are the sides of the triangle.

Calculation:

The perimeter of the triangle is 15 unit.

Therefore, the equation is obtained as:

  x+2+3x−4+5=154x+3=15                    [add]4x+3−3=15−3         [subtract 3 from both sides]4x=124x÷4=12÷4              [divide both sides by 4]x=3

Hence, the value of x is 3
