Answer:

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two equal sides' length be "x"

Let the third side length be "y"

Third side (y) is 2 LESS THAN TWICE the equal side, so we can write:

y = 2x - 2

The perimeter is 38. The perimeters is the sum of all three sides. So we can write:

x + x + y = 38

Replacing y with 2nd equation, we have:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38

Now, we can solve this for x first:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38\\x+x+2x-2=38\\4x=38+2\\4x=40\\x=10

Now, y is:

y = 2x - 2

y = 2(10) - 2

y = 20 - 2

y = 18

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

A flea weighs 8 decigrams, and an ant weighs 3 milligrams. How much more does a flea weigh than an ant?
Tasya [4]
It should be 7.97 decigrams, since you want to convert 3 milligrams to decigrams (0.03), it is asking "How much more" which means you subtract.  8 subtracted from 0.03 is 7.97.

Hope this helps :)

Which function represents g(x), a reflection of f(x) = 6(one-third) Superscript x across the y-axis?
Rasek [7]

The function g(x)=6(3)^{x} represents a reflection of f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{x} across the y-axis ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the reflection across the axes

  • If the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, then its image is g(x) = - f(x)
  • If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then its image is g(x) = f(-x)

∵ f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{x}

∵ g(x) is the image of f(x) after reflection across the y-axis

- From the rule above reflection across the y-axis changes the sign of x

∴ g(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{-x}

∵ (a)^{-n}=(\frac{1}{a})^{n}

∵ (\frac{1}{a})^{-n}=(a)^{n}

∴ (\frac{1}{3})^{-x}=(3)^{x}

∴ g(x)=6(3)^{x}

The function g(x)=6(3)^{x} represents a reflection of f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{x} across the y-axis
