Answer:

39

Explanation:

Alll the sides equal each other because of that curve u see at each angle, that curve means that the angles are the same, having the same angles means same sides, so just pick two equations to do this:

21 - x = 2x -3

add 3 to both sides

24 - x = 2x

add x to both sides

24 = 3x

divide by 3

8 = x

Now input 7 into the equations:

21 - x = 21 - 8 = 13

2(8) - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13

x + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13

Now add: 13 + 13 + 13 = 26 + 13 = 39

Another way for u to save time is remember how i said all the sides were the same? you could just solve one equation, so it'll be 13 and multiply that with 3 to get the perimeter since ur adding 13 three times anyway

So just a simple: 13(3) = 39
