Answer:

x = 12, x = 7

Explanation:

The 2 legs of the triangle are congruent, both 2x + 7, then

2x + 7 + 2x + 7 + x + 11 = 85 ← equation for perimeter

5x + 25 = 85 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 12

-----------------------------------------------------------

Opposite sides are congruent, then

2(2x) + 2(5x + 3) = 104 ← distribute and simplify both sides

4x + 10x + 6 = 104

14x + 6 = 104 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

14x = 98 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 7
