Answer:
The equal sides' length = 10
Third side length = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two equal sides' length be "x"
Let the third side length be "y"
Third side (y) is 2 LESS THAN TWICE the equal side, so we can write:
y = 2x - 2
The perimeter is 38. The perimeters is the sum of all three sides. So we can write:
x + x + y = 38
Replacing y with 2nd equation, we have:
x + x + (2x - 2) = 38
Now, we can solve this for x first:
Now, y is:
y = 2x - 2
y = 2(10) - 2
y = 20 - 2
y = 18
The equal sides' length = 10
Third side length = 18
Answer:
20,21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first number.
Let y be the 2nd number.
Given y - x = 1 (since they are consecutive)
Rearrange it: y = x+1 (equation 1)
Also given:
(equation 2)
Now we can substitute y = x + 1 into equation 2.
Since we know x, the smaller number is 20, we can substitute to equation 1 to find y, the larger number.
y = 20+1
= 21.
Therefore the 2 numbers are 20 and 21.
Answer:
x = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply. 28 times 2 and 1 times x. set them equal to each other and solve for x to get 56.
4.75×3=14.25
----------------------------------------
2.50×3=7.5.
-------------------------------------------
14.25+7.5=21.75
