ANSWER
Given the sides of equilateral triangle are (3x+2y),(5x+6y) and (x+y+3)
The all sides of equilateral triangle are equal
Then 3x+2y=5x+6y
⇒3x−5x=6y−2y
⇒−2x=4y
⇒x=−2y...................(1)
And 5x+6y=x+y+3
⇒5x−x+6y−y=3
⇒4x+5y=3..........(2)
Put the value x=−2y as per (1) we get
4(−2y)+5y=3
⇒−8y+5y=3
⇒−3y=3
⇒y=−1..................(3)
∴x=−2(−1)=2
Put the value x=2 and y=−1 in length of side
x+y+3=2−1+3=4 cm
Then perimeter of triangle =3×4=12
