Answer: 2.20

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two of its side equal. Since the length of of a leg is 2x-6, it means that the other length is also 2x-6 while the base is x.

We the add the sides together. This will be:

x + 2x - 6 + 2x - 6 = 23

5x - 12 = 23

5x = 23 - 12

5x = 11

x = 11/5

x = 2.20
