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

What graph matches the related tables ? And please explain why !!!
alina1380 [7]

Graph 1 is related to table C because the first 3 values are increasing, and the 4th value decreases. Or because at 1PM, 3PM, and 5PM, the temperature was increasing, but at 7PM the temperature decreased. Graph 1 shows the first 3 points increasing, and then decreasing at the 4th point.


Graph 2 is related to table A because as the time increases/goes on, the temperature decreases exponentially/continues to decrease at a higher rate than before. From 1-3PM the temperate decreases by 2°F, from 3-5PM it decreased by 8°F, from 5-7PM the temperature decreased by 17°F.


Graph 3 is related to table B because as the time increases/goes on, the temperature decreases at a steady rate of 1°F every 2 hours.
