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
