Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know AC = BC since this is an isosceles triangle
6 = 2x+2
Subtract 2 from each side
6-2 =2x+2-2
4 =2x
Divide each side by 2
4/2 =2x/2
2=x
For example:
(4/9) x=8
Now can solve this equation multiplying each side by 9/4.
(9/4)(4/9)x=(9/4)8
x=18
To check:
(4/9)(18)=(4*18)/9=72/9=8
It's 12x. you just combine both numbers
If M <span>is the midpoint of AB then AB = 2AM
8x - 6 = 2(3x + 3)
8x - 6 = 6x + 6
8x - 6x = 6 + 6
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6
AM = 3x + 3 = 3*6 + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21 units

9x² - 49
(3x)² - (7)²
= (3x + 7)(3x - 7)
This type of factoring is called Difference of Two Squares
where x² - y² = (x + y)(x - y)
