The length of the sides of a triangle are x, 2x+2, and 13. if the perimeter of the triangle is 30, what is the value of x?

Add all the sides up to equal 30 in an equation because you are given the perimeter. The perimeter is the length around a two dimensional shape. This means the perimeter is the length of all the side lengths added together.

(x) + (2x + 2) + (13) = 30

Combine like terms.

3x + 15 = 30

Subtract 15 from both sides.

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3.

the answer is b.)

< 1=< 2
