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
