Camille knew that a triangle had one side with a length of 16 inches and another side with a length of 20 inches. She did not know the length of the third side, but she did know that the perimeter was five times the length of the unknown side. How long is the unknown side? Please I really need help with this question!!

The unknown side is 9. Because 9 x 5= 45, 45 being the perimeter, that is 5 times the unknown side. And 45 is the sum of 9, 16, and 20.
