Answer:
The expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
An isosceles triangle has two sides equal which are the triangle legs. Let b represent the base of the triangle and l represent one of the triangle's legs. Then, the perimeter, P is given by
P = l + l + b
i.e P = 2l + b
From the question, P = 6y + 12 and b = 4y +2
∴ 6y + 12 = 2l + 4y + 2
6y - 4y + 12 - 2 = 2l
2y + 10 = 2l
∴ 2l = 2y + 10
Then,
l = (2y+10)/2
l = y + 5
Hence, the expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

Answer:
Dave is 18 and his sister is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do 38 -7x2 you can work out the combined ages of them now which is 24 (you have to do 7x2 because there are two of them and its seven years in the future). Then you can work out their ages using a ratio. Dave’s age : his sister’s age is 3:1 so if you divide 24 by 4 (3+1 = 4 so your can work out one portion of their age) you can find out how old the sister is which is 6. Times that by 3 to get Dave’s age which is 18. A formula for this (where x is his sisters age) would be 3x=38-7x2 which cancels down to 6.
Answer: A cherry pie costs 9 and an apple pie cost 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let an apple pie be represented by a
Let an cherry pie be represented by c
Jennifer sold 12 cherry pies and 3 apple pies for a total of 144. This can be written as:
12c + 3a= 144
Jacob sold 2 cherry pies and 9 apple pies for a total for 126. This can be written as:
2c + 9a = 126
12c + 3a= 144 ............. i
2c + 9a = 126 ........... ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 12
24c + 6a = 288 ........ iii
24c + 108a = 1512 ...... iv
Subtract iv from iii
-102a = -1224
a = 1224/102
a = 12
An apple pie costs 12
From equation i
12c + 3a= 144
12c + (3×12) = 144
12c + 36 = 144
12c = 144 - 36
12c = 108
c = 108/12
c = 9
A cherry pie costs 9
