Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle you need to add up all the sides, so if all the sides are 2x-3 the equation will look like this;

2x-3+2x-3+2x-3=27

which when combining like terms will leave it to be;

6x-9=27

Than move all the factors besides x over to the right side;

6x-9+9=27+9

6x = 36

6x/6 = 36/6

x = 6

so your answer will be x=6
