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
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see in the expression that there are 2 x² blocks, 4 -x blocks, and 3 -1 blocks. Therefore, we can write this as
2 * x² + 4 * (-x) + 3 * (-1) = 2x²-4x-3
Comparing this with each answer, we have
A: x²-2x-4 + x² + 2x-1 = 2x²-5. This is not correct
B: 3x²-7x+1-(x²-3x+4) = 3x²-7x+1 -x²+3x-4 = 2x²-4x-3. This seems correct but we can check the other answers to be sure
C: (2x+1)(x-3) = 2x²-6x+x-3 = 2x²-5x-3. This is incorrect
D:
. This is incorrect
Answer:
The number of machines to complete job in 2 hours is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the relation of the rate of each one machine and knowing that adding up both rates.

Rate R =
'x' is the job
Rate S =
'x' is the job
So, using the equation of rates

Rate total is going to be a job in 2 hours so = 
<em>adding up</em>
<em>factoring the x</em>
<em>simplifying</em>
x= 
x= 6
Answer:
not telling u the answer but first multiply 2 x 2 1/2 (4 1/2) then add that to 6 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to add 8/15 to 2/5.
To add two fractions we have to make them have the same denominator, so we have to convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 15. To do this, we have to multiply 2/5 by 3 and then we can add the fractions:

Answer: 14/15
