Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a systems of equations to find the value of the third side.

Let's assume that x is the length of both sides 1 and 2. Let's also assume that y is the length of the third side.

We know that x + x + y = 23, and looking at the first clue we can make the equation y = 2x-5.

We can substitute y into the equation x + x + y = 23.

x + x + (2x-5) = 23\\\\2x + 2x-5 = 23\\4x-5 = 23\\4x = 28\\x = 7

So the length of the side that is the same as the second is 7.

Now we can plug this into the equation y = 2x-5 to find y.

y = 2(7) - 5\\\\y = 14-5\\\\y = 9

Hope this helped!

Answer:

9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the length of the 2 equal sides is x.

That means:

Side 1 = x

Side 2 = x

We know that the third side is 5 less than twice the length of the 2 equal sides, or 2x-5

Side 3 = 2x-5

The perimeter is all sides together.

Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3

We know the length of each side, so let's put that in instead.

x + x + 2x-5

Let's simplify this expression:

x + x + 2x - 5

2x + 2x - 5

4x - 5

We know the perimeter, 4x-5, is 23 cm.

4x - 5 = 23

4x = 28

x = 7

The third side is 2x-5. If x is 7...

2*7 - 5 = 14-5 = 9

Answer: 9 cm

Remember
you can do anyting to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sidess

distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
commutativ property
a+b=b+a

distribute
3(4x-2)=12x-6

12x-6=9+2x+5
add 6 both sides
12x+6-6=9+6+5+2x
12x+0=20+2x
minus 2x
10x=20
divide 10
x=2

Can someone please HELP me on how to do this
frutty [35]

Answer:

4)x= g-c

5)x =u+k

6)x = g-c

7)a=\frac{k}{u}

8)x= \frac{g}{c}

9)a=\frac{4}{12m}

10)x= \frac{2c+3}{3}

11)a=\frac{n+p}{m}

12)a= \frac{ub}{k}

13)a= d -r + c

14)x=\frac{np}{m}

Step-by-step explanation:

4) g= c+x

x= g-c

5) u=x-k

x =u+k

6)g = c+x

x = g-c

7) u=\frac{k}{a} \\\\a=\frac{k}{u}

8) g=xc

x= \frac{g}{c}

9) 12am = 4

a=\frac{4}{12m}

10)-3x+2c = -3

2c = -3 +3x

2c +3 = 3x

x= \frac{2c+3}{3}

11) am= n+p

a=\frac{n+p}{m}

12)u = \frac{ak}{b} \\\\u*b = ak\\\\a= \frac{ub}{k}

13)a-c = d-r

a= d -r + c

14)xm= np

x=\frac{np}{m}
