An isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 8.5 cm. A second isosceles triangle, whose base is equal to that of the first but whose

legs are twice as long of the first, has a perimeter of 15.5 cm. Find the lengths of the sides of each triangle.

So you have length
l=legs and b=base
the first perimeter is 2l+b=8.5 since there are 2 legs
the second perimeter is 4l+b=15.5 since the legs are now 2l long instead of l
subtract the top problem from the bottom problem
(4l+b)-(2l+b)=15.5-8.5
2l=7 so l=3.5
if l=3.5 and 2l+b=8.5, 7+b=8.5, so b=1.5
check by plugging it into the second perimeter
4(3.5)+1.5=15.5-->14+1.5=15.5      it's correct yay!

24 because when you plug in 0 for both x and y:  

0=12(0)+24  

12*0=0, leaving you with 24.

How many real solutions are there to the equation x2 − 7x + 12 = 0?
lbvjy [14]
Hi there! 

We can find the answer by factoring the equation, then setting them up equal to zero.

x² - 7x + 12 = 0
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0

x - 3 = 0                             x - 4 = 0
     x = 3                                   x = 4

So you have two real solutions for the equation x² - 7x + 12 = 0.

Hope this helped! :)

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to y = 2x - 5 and contains (-50,10(
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -1/2x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation, we need to start by looking at the original equation's slope, which is 2. Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, so the new line will have a slope of -1/2.

Now we use that and the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 10 = -1/2(x + 50)

y - 10 = -1/2x - 25

y = -1/2x - 15
