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

If sin (x-3)° = cos (2x + 6)°, then what is the value of x?
Travka [436]

Answer:

if sin (x-3) degrees = cos (2x+6) degrees, find the value of x.

----------

Note: sin and cos are complementary functions....

sin(x) = cos (90-x)

-------------------

Your Problem:

sin(x-3) = cos(90-(x-3))

Equation:

90-[x-3] = 2x+6

90-x+3 = 2x+6

3x = 93-6

x = 31-2

x = 29
