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:is there another triangle or is it just that one?
Step-by-step explanation:
A
40,000-31,850= 8,150times .25= 2,037.50
4,386.25+2,037.50= $6,423.75
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
Homework mean x 10%: (80+100+90)/3 x 0.1 = 90 x 0.1 = 9
Quiz mean x 25%: (84+90+72)/3 x 0.25 = 20.5
Test mean x 45%: (64+72)/2 x 0.45 = 30.6
Sum of means/percentage of grade: 9 + 20.5 + 30.6 = 60.1/.8 = 75.125
Simple interest means the interest at the end of each year will always be 8% of 2000 (assuming he doesnt pay some of it off), and will not be compounded with the existing interest.
To get a percentage, multiply by the percentage/100, in this case i.e. multiply by 0.08.
2000*0.08 = $160.
Therefore he has $160 of interest each year to pay.
Now we just need to work out how many lots of 160 go into 640, i.e. divide through.
640/160 = 4 - therefore he has had the loan for 4 years.
