In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
First let's find out how many cups serve one person.
3 ÷ 5 = 1.6
1.6 of a cup serves one person.
1.6 × 13 = 20.8
It takes 20.8 (21 rounded) to serve 13 people.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Remove the parentheses and turn the 4-2x and make it into 4+2x candle the equal term -4 and should be left with x+6=2+2x then move the variable to the left and change the sign so it would be x-2x=2-6 and collect like terms so it would be -x=2-6 and then calculate that and get -x= -4
(sorry its alot)
13.52 should be the correct answer
The "relative frequency" is
(number of times a blue marble came out)
divided by
(total number of trials before everybody got bored and quit) .
-- The relative frequency of blue was (20/60) = (33 and 1/3) % .
(Even though 38.5% of the marbles in the jar are blue,
they didn't get picked that often.)
-- The relative frequency of green was (18/60) = 30 % .
(Even though only 26.9% of the marbles in the jar are green,
they got picked more often than that.)
-- The relative frequency of red was (22/60) = (36 and 2/3) % .
(Even though 42.3% of the marbles in the jar are red,
they didn't get picked that often.)
