in an isosceles triangle two sides are equal. the third side is 2 less than twice the length of the sum of the two sides. the perimeter is 40. what are the lengths of the 3 sides

s for length of either equal side

b for the unequal side

b=-2+2*(s+s) and 2s+b=40

b=2*2s-2

b=4s-2

2s+4s-2=40

6s-2=40

6s=42

s=7

b=4*7-2

b=28-2

b=26

if x decreases by 4 then y increases by 10

step-by-step explanation:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
