Answer:

2x+ 2.1 = 7.5

x=2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle with sides x and y is

2x+y = P

I put y as the single side since the question said y is the shortest side.  It should say shorter sides if the two sides with the same length are smaller than the third.

We know y =2.1 and P = 7.5

Substituting these values in, we get

2x+ 2.1 = 7.5

Subtract 2.1 from each side

2x+2.1 -2.1 = 7.5 -2.1

2x= 5.4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 5.4/2

x = 2.7 m

What is the standard form of y-8=2(x+3)
Zinaida [17]
Either:
y-8=2(x+3)
y-8=2x+6
-2x+y=14

or 

y-8=2(x+3)
y=2x+14

How to solve and what is the answer
TiliK225 [7]
Two ways: 
1) guess factors(trial and error)
2) use quadratic formula.
If you use this method then a = -3, b = -6 and c = -1


x = -b +/- [sqrt(b^2 -4ac)/2a]
substituting a, b, and c into our equation we get:
x = - (-6)+/- [sqrt ((-6)^2) - 4(-3)(-1))/2 (-3)]
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -4 (3)/-6)]  if I didnt make a mistake in my signs
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -12)/-6)]
x = 6 +/- [sqrt (24)/-6]  but sqrt 6 x sqrt of 4 = sqrt 24 hence
x = 6 +/-  [ sqrt 6 x sqrt 4 /-6] that is:
x = 6 +/- [sqrt 6 x 2 /-6 ]
so x = 6 + [sqrt 6 x 2/-6] and x = 6 - [sqrt 6 x 2/-6]
