The answer is 18. The two sides are the same length, so you set the two sides equal to each other and solve for x. After finding x, you plug in the number into the base expression and you get the base length.
78-32=56
56=2x
x=28
X is equivalent to 28
Answer:
6. D
7. B
Step-by-step explanation:
Nancy takes a test that has two sections: essay and true/false. She scores 56 points on the essay. Each true/false question is 4 points. So x number of true/false is worth 4 points each or 4x.
Together her score will be 56 + 4x.
She wants to score more than 80 or > 80.
So her test can be represented as the inequality 56 + 4x > 80.
This is solved using inverse operations.
56 + 4x > 80
4x > 24
x > 6
This should be graphed as an open circle at 6 on the umber line pointing and shaded to the the right for numbers greater than 6.
