Explanation:
___________________________________
[tex] \frac{3x+9}{3} [/tex] ;
= [tex] \frac{3x}{3}[/tex] + [tex] \frac{9}{3}[/tex] ;
= x + 3 .

Note: An equilateral triangle has 3 SIDES THAT ARE EQUAL IN LENGTH.
___________________________________
The perimeter is the sum of the total length of all three (3) sides. So, to find the length of each side {Note: Each side has an equal length}; we divide the given perimeter, by "3"}.

The answer is: " x + 3 " .

To check our answer:
3(x+3) =? 3x + 9 ??
Using the distributive property of multiplication:
_____________________________________
(3*x) + (3*3) =? 3x + 9?
3x + 9 =? 3x + 9 ? Yes!
