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

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9

The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36

Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .

-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it

The point (–3, –5) is on the graph of a function. Which equation must be true regarding the function?
lisov135 [29]
<span>So the question is what does the point (-3, -5) correspond to on the graph of the function. If we have a point on a graph in the Cartesian coordinate system then that point consists of coordinates (x, y). In other words, y=f(x) and x so (x, f(x)) where x is a x-coordinate and y=f(x) is y-coordinate. So if we have a point (-3, -5) the corresponding coordinates are x=-3 and y=f(x)=-5. So it must be true that y=f(-3)=-5. So the correct answer is a. f(-3)=-5.</span>

(3x^2) (2x^5)<br>use the properties of exponents to simplify​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

6x^7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponent property for this would be that

x^a * x^b = x^a + b.

So x^2 * x^5 = x^2 + 5 or x^7.

The other part is just multiplying the coefficients 3 and 2, which is 6.

Put these together and you get your answer 6x^7.
