This is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, at the base we have congruent angles (look at the picture).
We have the equation:
(5x + 13)° + (3x + 7)° = 180°
5x + 13 + 3x + 7 = 180 <em>combine like terms</em>
(5x + 3x) + (13 + 7) = 180
8x + 20 = 180 <em>subtract 20 from both sides</em>
8x = 160 <em>divide both sides by 8</em>
<h3>x = 20</h3>
Answer:
12+# OR 12+x
Step-by-step explanation:
Increased by 12 means plus 12. The word "is" in equations is an equal sign. So far, you have 2n+12. On the other side of the equal sign, you have 31 less than 3 times a number.
Answer:
n=−5
Step-by-step explanation:
n−4−3n=3n+6−3n
−2n−4=6
Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.
−2n−4+4=6+4
−2n=10
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
−2n
/−2
= 10
/−2
n=−5
