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 .

Answer:

180cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

split it into 2 different triangles one is 24 x 4 and the other is 24 x 11 then add them together

24 x 4 is 96/2 is 48

24 x 11 is 264/2 is 132

add 48 + 132 to get an answer of 180 cm^2

if anything doesnt seem right just comment and i will try and figure out what has gone wrong

hope this helps :)

so
</span><span>Seven less than the product of a number and 10 is 50:</span>
10n - 7 = 50
----------------------------
if you need to find the number n then
10n - 7 = 50
10n = 57
    n = 57/10
    n = 5.7

Describe the difference between algebraic expressions and numerical expressions.
Mila [183]
The difference between an algebraic expression and a numerical expression is that algebraic expressions contain numbers and variables. Numerical expressions only contain numbers.
