A kitten was given to a child as a birthday present when she was two years old. The cat lived a good life, but eventually became

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cat's age when it died = x.

Therefore, the child's age is 2 + x because he/she got the cat when he/she was 2 years old.

We can set up an equation.

x + (2+x) = 30

2x + 2 = 30

2x = 28

Therefore, x = 14

the third side of an isosceles triangle is 8 inches shorter than the other two sides the perimeter of the triangle is 70 inches

dezoksy [38]

Isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are the same length. So what you have is three sides that measure: x, x, and (x-8). 70 = x + x + (x-8).
70 = x + x + x - 8
78 = 3x
x = 26.
and 26 - 8 = 18.
So two of your sides are 26 inches and the last side is 18 inches.
