If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.

Whats the answer for -3(w+4)=-18 find what W equals
neonofarm [45]
First, distribute to simplify the equation.

-3*w = -3w
-3*4 = -12

-3w + (-12) = -18

Now, isolate the variable.
  
-3w + -12 = -18
          +12     +12

- 18 + 12 --> -6

-3w = -6

-3w/-3 = -6/-3    >>>>>     w = 2

Answer: w = 2

Elena wants to make a scale drawing of her apartment. Her apartment is a rectangle with length 18cm and width 10m. She decides o
Doss [256]

Answer:

<h2>9cm and 5cm </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

 Note: The unit of the width in the question is suppose to be in cm

     <em>"with length 18cm and width 10m"====>>></em> <em>"with length 18m and width 10m"</em>

so given that the dimension of the room is

<em>18mx10m </em>

This is a reduction process since we aim to transfer the dimension to paper

we are reducing the dimension by 2

and 1cm---2m

since 2m will represent 1cm

then the dimension will be

9cm and 5cm

Help needed ! 13 - 2(2x + 1) = 1 ?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

x = ¹⁰⁄₄,⁵⁄₂, or 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 13 - 2(2x + 1) = 1

1. Distribute -2 through the parentheses:

⇒ 13 - 2(2x + 1) = 1

⇒ 13 + (-2)(2x) + (-2)(1) = 1

13 - 4x - 2 = 1

2. Combine like terms:

⇒ 13 - 4x - 2 = 1

⟹ 11 - 4x = 1

3. Subtract 11 from both sides:

⇒ 11 - 11 - 4x = 1 - 11

⟹ -4x = -10

4. Divide both sides by -4:

⇒ -4x ÷ -4 = -10 ÷ -4

⟹ x = ¹⁰⁄₄,⁵⁄₂, or 2.5

5. Check your work:

⇒ 13 - 2(2x + 1) = 1

⇒ 13 - 2(2(2.5) + 1) = 1

⇒ 13 - 2(5 + 1) = 1

⇒ 13 - 2(6) = 1

⇒ 13 - 12 = 1

⟹ 1 = 1 ✔
