Answer:

2x +2y -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equal sides are 'a' and the third side is 'b', then the perimeter is ...

P = a +a +b = 2a +b

The length of the third side is then ...

b = P -2a . . . . . . subtract 2a from both sides

Substituting the given expressions, we find ...

b = (10x +4y -18) -2(4x +y -5)

b = 10x +4y -18 -8x -2y +10

b = 2x +2y -8 . . . . the length of the third side

The table and the graph below each show a different relationship between the same two variables, x and y:

The value of y would be 20 times more valuable than 12 because the pattern for this table is y=20x. Let me know if I'm right :)

Roman is drawing fraction bars to model the difference of Five-eighths and One-third. What is the smallest number of equally siz

Ivenika [448]

Answer: 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Five-eighths means 5/8

One-third means 1/3

The difference between 5/8 and 1/3 is

5/8 - 1/3 = 7/24

Therefore, the smallest number of equally sized pieces each fraction bar can be broken into 7/24
