The only thing I'm a little unclear on here is what you mean by
the "legs" of an isosceles triangle. 

I'm going to assume that your isosceles triangle is standing on
the side you call the "base", and the "legs" are the two slanty ones,
standing up, which are the two equal sides.

With that set-up,                       x + 1 = -x + 7

Add  x  to each side:               2x + 1 =        7

Subtract  1  from each side:    2x      =        6

Divide each side by  2 :            x       =        3


Finally, if the base is  (3x - 3), then that's  (3·3 - 3)  =  6 .

Nutka1998 [239]
The cents are .635 and the greatest cent is 6. So, when it is rounded to the greatest value like estimating it will be 14.600 or 14.6. As easy as that. :)

X+5 divided by 3=15 what is the answer?
GREYUIT [131]
All you have to do is solve for x. See the following steps below.

Step 1. Subtract \frac{5}{3} from both sides

X= 15-\frac{5}{3}

Step 2. Simplify 15- \frac{3}{5} to \frac{40}{3}

X= \frac{40}{3}
