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

A bag holds 12 red marbles, 11 green
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

62.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many total marbles there are:

12 + 11 + 17 + 5

= 45

Then, find how many marbles that are not blue:

12 + 11 + 5

= 28

Then, divide 28 by 45, and multiply by 100

(28/45) x 100

= 62.22% is the probability of not choosing a blue marble

Which exponential expression is equal to 2−5·28
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Impossible

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the answer 2-5*28 = -138

This would have no answer since an exponential expression can't equal an negative unless it's a negative answer, but in this case, there is no answer that would get you -138.

A. 5°<br>B. 35°<br>C. 31°<br>D. 7°​
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

(2x +30) and (3x -5)  (they're opposite to eachother, so they're equal)

2x + 30 = 3x - 5 (set them equal to eachother, then subtract 3x from both side)

-1x = -35 (divide both sides by -1 to isolate x)

x = 35 or B (this is your answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps :))
