If their perimeters are equal, we can add up all the side lengths of each triangle, and set the perimeters equal to each other to find the value of x that satisfies the equation:

x - 2 + x + 3x + 1 = 2x - 5 + x + 4 + 6x - 7

Combine like terms:

5x - 1 = 9x - 8

And finally, solve for x:

7 = 4x

x =
(7)/(4)

Therefore, x is equal to
(7)/(4).

Hope this helps! :)
