Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sided of the triangle.

In an isosceles triangle, there are two equal sides and  a base.

Perimeter = ( 3x - 6) + (3x - 6) + x

            58 = 7x - 12

            58 + 12 = 7x

                   70  = 7x

                    [tex]\frac{70}{7} = \frac{7x}{7}[/tex]

                    10 = x
