The answer is: 36

Because, bisecting the base of the triangle gives of two segments of five. This forms two triangles with base of 5 and altitude (in this case height) of 12. There exists a special pythagorean triplet triangled named 5-12-13 meaning if you have a right triangle with two of these sides then the unknown side is the number left out. In this case, the altitude forms a right angle on the base which allows the sides of the big isocs. triangle to be 13 giving us 13 + 13 + 10 to be the perimeter = 36.

What is the value of x? <br> -2/7x+6+1/7x=18 <br> x=
Alenkinab [10]
- \frac{2}{7} x + 6 + \frac{1}{7} x = 18

First, simplify \frac{2}{7} x to \frac{2x}{7} / Your problem should look like: -\frac{2x}{7} + 6 + \frac{1}{7} x = 18
Second, simplify \frac{1}{7} x to \frac{x}{7} / Your problem should look like: - \frac{2x}{7} + 6 + \frac{x}{7} = 18
Third, simplify - \frac{2x}{7} + 6 + \frac{x}{7} to - \frac{x}{7} + 6 / Your problem should look like: -\frac{x}{7} + 6 = 18
Fourth, regroup terms. / Your problem should look like: 6 - \frac{x}{7} = 18
Fifth, multiply both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: 42 - x = 126
Sixth, subtract 42 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -x = 126 - 42
Seventh, simplify 126 - 42 to 84. / Your problem should look like: -x = 84
Eighth, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -84

Answer: x = -84

Below is a proof showing that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

Proof: Assume that a + b = x and that x is rational.

Then b = x – a = x + (–a).

Now, x + (–a) is rational because addition of  two rational numbers is rational (Additivity property).

However, it was stated that b is an irrational number. This is a contradiction.

Therefore, the assumption that x is rational in the equation a + b = x must be incorrect, and x should be an irrational number.

Hence,  the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
