B = base length
a = length of the other two equal sides
The value of 'a' is larger than the value of b. This is because the base is shorter than the other two equal sides. We're told that "one of the longer sides is 6.3 cm", meaning that a = 6.3
Replace every copy of 'a' in the given equation with 6.3; isolate b
2*a + b = 15.7
2*6.3 + b = 15.7
12.6 + b = 15.7
12.6 + b - 12.6 = 15.7 - 12.6 ... see note below
b = 3.1
note: I subtracted 12.6 from both sides. This is using the subtraction property of equality.
5.
To find this, you can do the is over of technique.
The is over of technique is as says - is over of and percent over one hundred.
If you use this technique, your equation should look like this:
x/50 = 10/100
Cross multiply 10 and 50 and divide by 100 to get the answer of 5.
Hope this helps!
