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 .

The product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and a
Naddik [55]

Answer:

X=-3/8 (x equals negative 3 over 8.)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you have twice a number and six. That is going to be 2x*6, and that then simplifies into 12x. Now, 11 times the number, would be 11x. The difference between 11x and 3/8 would be 11x-3/8.

So, You now have 12x=11x-3/8.

Combine like factors. So, 12x-11x=-3/8.

Now, you have x=-3/8.

Hope this Helps!! (:

g(x) = –3(x + 6)2 + 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of f(x) = x2 is shifted right 6 units. The graph of f(x) = x2 is shifted down 48 units. The graph of f(x) = x2 is reflected over the y-axis.
