The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is 4 inches less than the length of one of the two equal sides of the triangle. If the perimeter is 32, find the three sides of the triangle?

Is this a trick question again (scratching head and thinking really hard)

x-4 + 2x = 32 where x is the length of the equal sides.
