The length of the based of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 3x-5. The perimeter of the triangle is 88. Find x.

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has a base and two equal legs. Because you know that one of the legs is 3x-5, the other leg is also going to be 3x-5. Knowing this, you can add all of the lengths together and have it equal to 88. Then, it's just a matter of combining and dividing.

x + 3x-5 + 3x-5 = 88

7x -10 = 88

7x = 98

x = 14

for a it would be 24 children.
