Answer: The three sides are 14, 14, 20

===================================

x = length of the two equal sides

x+6 = length of the third longer side

add up the three lengths x, x, x+6. Set it equal to the perimeter 48. Solve for x

x+x+x+6 = 48

3x+6 = 48

3x+6-6 = 48-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides

3x = 42

3x/3 = 42/3 ... divide both sides by 3

x = 14

If x = 14, then x+6 = 14+6 = 20

The three sides are 14, 14, 20

We can check this by adding up the three sides 14+14+20 = 28+20 = 48 and we get the right perimeter.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries.

The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7.

If Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben together,

find:

what is the total number of strawberries the three of them ate?

solution:

add the ratios 5 + 5 + 7 = 17

since Cindy ate 30, less than Ann and Ben together so, the equation is

7x = 5x + 5x - 30

7x - 10x = -30

x = 30/3

x = 10

ann 5 x 10 = 50

ben 5 x 10 = 50

cindy 7 x 10 = 70  

total            = 170
