I appreciate anyone's help since I'm a word problem deficient. I find that textbooks are entirely insufficient in teaching how to do all but the most basic word problems. I don't care how many times I re-read and draw pictures, I still don't know what the formulas are.
The perimiter of an equilateral triangle is 7 inches more than the perimeter of a square, and the side of the triangle is 5 inches longer than the side of the square. Find the side of the triangle. (hint: An equalaterial triangle has 3 sides the same length).
