The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 55, 55 and 70.
Explanation:
An isosceles triangle has two congruent base angles and a vertex angle.
Let
b
=the measure of one of the base angles.
Let
v
=
the measure of the the vertex angle.
The vertex angle is 40 degrees less than the sum of the base angles.
v
=

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.

Substitute

Combine like terms.
Add 40 to both sides.

Divide by 4

I do oki cool how can I help you out:)
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
we can solve this using basic algebra
We set up the equation using the info that each video costs $5 and that we but 12 of them
12(1 * 5) + x = 70
(Please note: 1x = x)
12(5) + x = 70
60 + x = 70
60 - 60 + x = 70 - 60
x = 10
