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
Answer:
Laura and Rob are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
39/50
1) Rob said he could divide the numerator by the denominator
so
using a calculator
39/50=0.78
Rob is correct
2) Laura said she could write an equivalent fraction with 100 as the denominator to converted into a decimal
so
Multiply by 2/2
(39/50)*(2/2)=78/100=0.78
Laura is correct
therefore
Laura and Rob are correct
x=9
Add 6 to both sides of the equation. x = 3 + 6
Add 3and 6.
x=9
-x² + 8x - 6 = 0
x = <u>-(8) +/- √((8)² - 4(-1)(-6))</u>
2(-1)
x = <u>-8 +/- √(64 - 20)</u>
-2
x = <u>-8 +/- √(44)
</u> -2<u>
</u>x = <u>-8 +/- 2√(11)
</u> -2
x = <u>-8 + 2√(11)</u> x = <u>-8 - 2√(11)
</u> -2 -2<u>
</u>x = 4 - √(11) x = -8 + √(11)
