Answer: 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs are given to be :
3x - 1 and -x + 27
The base = 5x + 1
One of the properties of an isosceles triangle is that two sides are equal , that is the two legs are equal. This means that
3x - 1 = - x + 27
3x + x = 27 + 1
4x = 28
x = 7
To calculate the length of the base, substitute x = 7 into the length of the base given , that is
Length of the base = 5(7) + 1
L = 35 + 1
L = 36
X= 24 because both side lengths are the same size. So it would be 24. hope it helped.
The answer is 21 because you do PEMDAS first. (8-8) is 0. And 0+21 is 21
You can estimate 3.9 times 5.3 to 4 times 5 which is 20
so if the answer is around 20, you know that you will have exactly 2 digits before the decimal place
$56.70 take away the tax first which brings you to $54 then 54x.10% is 5.40 so take 5.40 away from $54 you then have $48.60 then you can add the tax back in +2.70 = $51.30
