Answer:
Base of the original triangle is 12 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let base of triangle be x
two equal legs of triangles by y
therefore perimeter of triangle
x+y+y = 50 or x+2y =50
according to the question
if base is x+3 and leg is y-4
then both are equal
that is x+3 = y-4
y-x = 7 or y =x+7
x+2y =50
x+2(x+7) = 50
x+2x +14 =50
3x +14 =50
3x = 50 -14
3x = 36
x = 12
therefore base of the original triangle is 12 cm
Answer:
First choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
You could plug in the choices to see which would make all the 3 equations true.
Let's start with (x=2,y=-6,z=1):
2x+y-z=-3
2(2)+-6-1=-3
4-6-1=-3
-2-1=-3
-3=-3 is true so the first choice satisfies the first equation.
5x-2y+2z=24
5(2)-2(-6)+2(1)=24
10+12+2=24
24=24 is true so the first choice satisfies the second equation.
3x-z=5
3(2)-1=5
6-1=5
5=5 is true so the first choice satisfies the third equation.
We don't have to go any further since we found the solution.
---------Another way.
Multiply the first equation by 2 and add equation 1 and equation 2 together.
2(2x+y-z=-3)
4x+2y-2z=-6 is the first equation multiplied by 2.
5x-2y+2z=24
----------------------Add the equations together:
9x+0+0=18
9x=18
Divide both sides by 9:
x=18/9
x=2
Using the third equation along with x=2 we can find z.
3x-z=5 with x=2:
3(2)-z=5
6-z=5
Add z on both sides:
6=5+z
Subtract 5 on both sides:
1=z
Now using the first equation along with 2x+y-z=-3 with x=2 and z=1:
2(2)+y-1=-3
4+y-1=-3
3+y=-3
Subtract 3 on both sides:
y=-6
So the solution is (x=2,y=-6,z=1).
Answer:
x = 14.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so we know that a triangle has a total interior degree of 180°. And since we already have a 95° angle, we just need to subtract 95 from 180.
180° - 95° = 85°
Now, we already have indicators that two of the three sides are equal. And we already got the angle of the side that does not have a matching partner. So we just need to divide what we already have by 2.
85° / 2 = 42.5°
Now that we know each side is 42.5 degrees, we just need to grab our given equation and put and equal sign at the end with what we already know is the answer (since we are trying to solve for <em>x</em>).
(4x - 15) = 42.5
Now, let's just get rid of those useless parentheses.
4x - 15 = 42.5
Next, we just need to have the variable on its own side, all by itself. So, in order to do that, we just add 15 to both sides.
4x = 57.5
Now, for our final step, we just need to divide each side by our variables' factor (which is a positive 4). In which we get our final answer of:
x = 14.375
Answer:
n°
Step-by-step explanation:
Your selection is correct. Once again, they are alternate angles, meaning they're equal to one another.
