Answer:

The third side has a length of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sides of equal length can be represented as x, and x

The thirds side is five less that twice the length of the other sides can be represented as  2x - 5.

The perimeter is 23, so the sum of all 3 sides is 23, now we have..

x + x + 2x - 5 = 23          solve for x...

4x = 28

x = 7,

so two sides are 7, and 7, and the third side is

2(7) - 5

  14 - 5

   9

AfilCa [17]

X= be coffee

Y=be donuts


Set up equations


10x+5y=16.50

5x+10y=14.25


Now multiply first equation by -2 to get a negative


(-2)10x+5y(-2)=16.50(-2)


-20x-10y=-33


Now put both equations to solve for x


-20x-10y=-33

5x+10y=14.25

___________

-15x. = -18.75


Now divide -15 bith sides to get x alone


X= -18.75/-15


X= 1.25



The cost of each coffee cup$1.25
