Since we don't know how much Eric makes per dog, let's let <em>x </em>represent that value. Let's also let <em>y</em> represent our answer.
First, let's consider the two numbers we KNOW will be in the equation. The 56 that Eric made dog sitting and the 168 he made in total on Tuesday. Now, we're going to need to use subtraction and division in this equation.
(168 - 45) ÷ <em>x</em> = <em>y</em>
Hope this answer helped you out. :)
Answer: 16
You divide 8 by 1/2 and you get 16 pieces
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
