The base is 6.

In order to find this, we can set the legs equal to each other since legs have the same length in an isosceles triangle.

x + 1 = -x + 7

2x + 1 = 7

2x = 6

x = 3

Now that we have the value for x, we can plug into the equation to get the value for the base.

3x - 3 = base

3(3) - 3 = base

9 - 3 = base

6 = base

Heya!!

---------------------------------------

Since length of two legs are equal..

=) x+1 = - x+7

=) x+x = 7-1

=) 2x = 6

=) x = 6/2 = 3

Hence base = 3(3) - 3

= 9-3

= 6.

Hope it helps!!

If a is a negative number, then a(1/a) is equal to -1. If a is a negative number and b is a negative number, then product ab is
Firdavs [7]

Both claims are false. In fact, a and \frac{1}{a} are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that

a \cdot \dfrac{1}{a} = 1 \quad\forall a \in \mathbb{R}

So, it doesn't matter if a is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,

(-2) \cdot \dfrac{1}{-2} = \dfrac{-2}{-2} = 1

Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:

  • (+) \cdot (+) = (+)
  • (+) \cdot (-) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (+) = (-)
  • (-) \cdot (-) = (+)

So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.

Solve the Equation.
IgorLugansk [536]
<h2>1.</h2>

Firstly, combine like terms: 7r-8=10+r

Next, subtract r on both sides of the equation: 6r-8=10

Next, add 8 onto both sides of the equation: 6r=18

Lastly, divide both sides by 6 and <em><u>your answer will be r = 3.</u></em>

<h2>2.</h2>

Firstly, multiply both sides by e: TE=3u

Lastly, divide both sides by 3, and <em><u>your answer will be \frac{TE}{3}=u</u></em>

If f(x) is given with points (0,5) and (4,3), it can be easily plotted in a coordinate system (see .jpeg image in attachment).If g(x) is a function defined by text:

Kyle started the summer having read 3 books but plans to read 6 books per month over the summer.Then, g(x) is given with:

g(x) = 6*x+3 (3 books read already, and 6 books will be read each month).h(x) is already given with:

h(x)=3*x+4

These all three functions are plotted in coordinate system and it can be seen that the lowest y-intercept has function g(x), and it is the value of 3 on y-axis. Others have 4 (h(x)) and 5 (f(x)).
