Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.

Let y represent the length of the third side.

The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that

2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1

Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that

x = y + 10

Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes

2(y + 10) + y = 65

2y + 20 + y = 65

2y + y = 65 - 20

3y = 45

y = 45/3 = 15

Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes

x = 15 + 10 = 25

PLZ ANSWER ASAP! What is the solution of the system of equations? {7/2x−1/2y=9/2 3x−y=5 Enter your answer in the boxes.
Reil [10]

\frac{7}{2} x -  \frac{1}{2} y =  \frac{9}{2}  same \: as \: 7x - y = 9
7x-y=9
3x-y=5 (multiply by -1 both sides of the equation)

7x-y=9
-3x+y=-5 (now add both equations)

7x-3x-y+y=4
4x=4 (divide by 4 both sides of the equation)

x=1

y=3x-5=3×1-5=-2

y= -2

answer: x=1, y=-2

The mean of six consecutive odd integers is 22 what is the smallest of these numbers
svetlana [45]
Let the consecutive odd integers be: x-5, x-3, x-1, x+1, x+3, x+5

Mean = 22

\frac{x-5 +x-3+ x-1+ x+1+ x+3+ x+5}{6} = 22

\frac{6x}{6} = 22

x = 22

Hence, the odd integers are 17, 19, 21, 23, 25.

The smallest integer is 17.
