Answer:
The equation is:
y= -2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways to solve this:
You could do very long algebra but you could also just plug in your information and make life easy for yourself.
Start of by plugging in your slope into the equation. (due to y=mx+b, m= slope=-2)
y= -2x + _
Then plug in the co-ordinates give.
(1) = -2(1) + z
Then solve for z
1 = -2 +z
+2 +2
z= 3
Then plug all your information in to get
y= -2x +3
(5 cups)/(2.5 days) = (2 cups)/(1 day)

. . . answer is 2 cups</em></u>
Answer:
Side a = 35ft
Side b = 35ft
Side c = 20ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of a triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c
In an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal to each other.
So, Side a = Side b
In the question, we are told that:
The two equal sides are each 5 ft less than twice the length of the third side.
Hence,
a = 2c - 5
b = 2c - 5
P = 90ft
P = a + b + c
90 = 2c - 5 + 2c - 5 + c
Collect like terms
90 = 5c - 10
90 + 10 = 5c
100 = 5c
c = 100/5
c = 20
The length of the third side = 20ft
a = 2c - 5
= 2 × 20 - 5
= 40 - 5
= 35 ft
b =2c - 5
= 2 × 20 - 5
= 40 - 5
= 35 ft
Therefore,
Side a = 35ft
Side b = 35ft
Side c = 20ft
