We are dealing with an equilateral triangle which has 3 equal sides.
length of a side = 3 ft
Since the three sides of an equilateral triangle are equal and we are given two sides to have lengths of 3x - 9 and 23 - 5x , it means that;
3x - 9 = 23 - 5x
Rearranging this gives;
3x + 5x = 23 + 9
8x = 32
x = 32/8
x = 4
putting 4 for x in 3x - 9, we have;
3(4) - 9 = 3 ft
Thus,
length of a side = 3 ft
