Question

A triangle has a perimeter of 50. If 2 of its sides are equal and the third side is 5 more than the equal sides, what is the length of the third side?

Answer 1

let a be one side, b second side, c is third side. since two sides are equal a=b. third side is 5 more than the equal sides so c = 5+a. the sum should be 50
a + a + (5+a) = 50
3a +5 = 50
3a = 50-5
3a = 45
a=15
now you can solve for the third side

Answer 2

2x + (x + 5) = 50

3x = 45

Now solve for x....
