Answer:

Length of the third side is 18.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. The third side is 7 less than twice the length of one side of the other side.

Let two equal side of the isosceles triangle = x cm

and third side = y cm

Then y = ( 2x - 7 ) --------(1)

Perimeter of the triangle is 44 cm

then x + x + y = 44

2x + y + 44 -----------(2)

Now we substitute the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2)

2x + ( 2x - 7 ) = 44

4x - 7 = 44

4x = 44 + 7

4x = 51

x = \frac{51}{4} = 12.75 cm

Now we put x = 12.75 in equation (1)

y = 2(12.75) - 7

  = ( 25.5 - 7 )

  = ( 18.5 )cm

Therefore, length of third side is ( 18.5 ) cm.

6x^2-5x-4=0 <br> solving quadratics by factoring (answer with {} around it)
stepan [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

6x²–5x–4 = 0

6×4 = 24..

write many ways 24 can be written..

24 = (6×4), (1×24), (12×2), (8×3)

(8×3) --> –8+3 = –5

6x²+3x–8x–4 = 0

6x(x+½)–8(x+½) = 0

(6x–8)(x+½) = 0

6x–8 = 0, x+½ = 0

6x = 8, x = –½

x = 4/3, –½

If f(x) is a function and f(1) = 5, then which of the following could not be true?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
It can't be f(1) = 1 because a function can't have two images on the same x.
