<span>You are given the number 120 that is separated into 2 parts. You are also given that the larger part exceeds three times the smaller by 12. You are asked to find the the size of the smaller part. To solve this, establish an equation. Let us denote x as the size of the smaller part.

It is also said that "l</span>arger part exceeds three times the smaller by 12" and converting it into an equation, we have
<span>3x + 12

And since the sum of two parts is 120, equate 3x + 12 to 120

3x + 12 = 120
3x = 120 - 12
3x = 108
x = 36

Can someone please help me with this
omeli [17]

Answers:

  • x = 3
  • CD = 21
  • DE = 16
  • CE = 21

=============================================================

Explanation:

The congruent base angles are D and E. Opposite those angles are the sides CE and CD. These opposite sides are the same length.

CE = CD

16x-27 = 4x+9

16x-4x = 9+27

12x = 36

x = 36/12

x = 3

This x value then leads to the following:

  • CD = 4x+9 = 4*3+9 = 12+9 = 21
  • DE = 7x-5 = 7*3-5 = 21-5 = 16
  • CE = 16x-27 = 16*3-27 = 48-27 = 21

We see that CD and CE are both 21 units long, which helps confirm we have the correct x value.
