Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
:)
The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.
15x + 7 = 23x - 17
7 = 8x - 17
8x = 24
x = 3
Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52
Hope this helps!
% Increase = Increase/original number x 100
Let I represent increase
((58-32)/32) x 100 = I
58oz - 32oz = 26oz
26/32 x 100 = I
0.8125 x 100 = I
Increase = 81.25%
So first off, remember the formula for the area of a rectangle. it's length time width right? or, you could think that A= 2 things multiplied together. how can we simplify x^2 - x -72 to equal two things multiplied together? well, we can factor it! We know that one of the factors is x+8 right? so what's the other factor? it would be x-9. so, we know width is x-9. I'm not sure if you need an actual value for width. if so, I could probably go further.
