Answer:
Base angle = 72
Vertex angle = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Measure of the base angle = x. But there are two of them. (Definition of isosceles). Keep that in mind.
The vertex angle is 1/4 of one of the base angles. That means that the vertex is 1/4 x
All three angles = 180 degrees.
So we have x + x + x/4 = 180 degrees.
change 1/4x to 0.25x x since 1/4 = 0.25
Equation
x + x + 0.25 = 180
2.5x = 180
Solution
2.5x = 180 Divide by 2.5 on both sides
2.5x/2.5 = 180/2.5
x = 72
Answer
That means that each base angle = 72 degrees
The Vertex Angle = 72/4 = 18
There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x = 
8() + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13
Y=5x - 3
Because the difference in the y values are 5, the rise is 5. That is the TOP of the slope. The difference in the x values is 1, that is the run or the BOTTOM of the slope. So m = 5/1.
Using y = mx + b
2 = 5(1) + b
-3 = b
Therefore, y = 5x -3
