In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation is written as 
, "m" being the slope and "b" being the y-intercept.
The slope is how many times you rise/run in order to get from one point on the line to the next. You rise (go up/down) 1 unit and run (go left/right) 3 units. Plug in the numbers and you get 1/3.
The y-intercept is where the graph lands on the y-axis, which is 4.
Answer:
The answer is y = 2x - 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Move 2x to the right side of the equation by adding it to both sides:
-2x + y + 3 = 0
<u>+ 2x + 2x</u>
y + 3 = 2x
Then, move 3 to the right side of the equation by subtracting it form both sides:
y + 3 = 2x
<u> - 3 - 3</u>
y = 2x - 3
Answer: 31 & 42
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1st #: x
2nd #: x + 11
1st# + 2nd# = sum
x + x + 11 = 73
2x + 11 = 73
2x = 62
x = 31
2nd #: x + 11 = 31 + 11 = 42
