Question 448920
Let x one from the equal sides and y the longer side, since the longer side measures 2 inches more than either of the shorter sides we write:

{{{y=x+2}}}. Also we know that the perimeter is 17 inches, thus we write:

{{{y=17-2x}}}. Now we can write the system:{{{system(y=x+2, y=17-2x)}}}.

The solution is the point (5, 7). See the graph below.

{{{graph(600, 600, -5, 10, -5, 20, x+2, 17-2x)}}}.
