The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 2x - 3. The perimeter of the triangle is 34. Find x.

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is isosceles, it means that 2 of its sides are equal in length, therefore its perimeter is equal to

Adding similar terms, and recalling that the perimeter is equal to 34, we get
