WXYZ is an isosceles trapezoid with legs WX and YZ and a base XY. If the length of WX is 6x+5, the length of XY is 10x+4 and the

pav-90 [236]

WX and ZY make up the legs, as illustrated in the diagram.
Since it is an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are congruent; that means
6x + 5 = 8x - 3
When solving this equation, we do not want a variable on both sides. We will cancel the 6x to avoid negatives:
6x + 5 - 6x = 8x - 3 - 6x
5 = 8x - 3 - 6x
Combine like terms:
5 = 2x - 3
Cancel the 3 by adding:
5 + 3 = 2x - 3 + 3
8 = 2x
Cancel the 2 by dividing:
8/2 = 2x/2
4 = x

wade wants to buy sweaters. He has $175 and each sweater costs $12.00. Write and solve an inequality to find how many sweaters h

Hatshy [7]

Wade wants to have at least $55 left, so the sign will be ≤ (greater than or equal to 55) One sweater costs $12. You can use x to represent an unkown number of sweaters, so $12x. You are subtracting 12x by your budget of $175. When put together, the inequality is $175-$12x ≤ $55. Now to solve. You want to get x alone so subtract 175. You must do this to both sides. Now you have -12x≤ -120. Divide both sides by -12 and your final answer is -120/-12 ≥ 10. (Notice the sign changes when you divide by a negative) So Wade cannot buy more than 10 sweaters to have $55 left over. Phoo that was a workout. It can be difficult but once you get the hang of it it comes easy. If you need more help just ask :D
