What transformation results in a right endpoint? Why

Answer: The number is: 4 ¼ ; or, write as 4.25 .
<span>_____________________________________________
</span>Explanation:
_______________
We set up the problem as:
_____________________________

5(x − 2) = 7+ x ; Solve for "x" (our "unknown number"; which is the answer).
____________________________________________________
Using the "distributive property of multiplication" :
____________________________________________________
a*(b + c) = ab + ac ; AND:

a* (b − c) = ab − ac ;
_____________________________________________________
Let us take the "left-hand side" of our equation and expand it:
_______________________________________
5(x − 2) = (5*x) − (5*2) = 5x − 10 ;
_________________________________________
and rewrite the equation; substitute our "expanded value" for the "left-hand side";
________________________________
→ 5(x − 2) = 7+ x ; ↔ 5x − 10 = 7+ x ;
____________________________________
Now, subtract "x" from EACH SIDE of the equation; & add "10" to EACH SIDE of the equation;
________________________________________________
→ 5x − 10 − x + 10 = 7+ x − x + 10 ;
_______________________________________________
→ to get: 4x = 17 ;
________________________________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "4"; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" (our answer);
________________________________________
→ 4x / 4 = 17 / 4;
__________________________
→ x = 17/4 = 17 ÷ 4 = 4 ¼ ; or, write as 4.25 .
_________________________________________
→ Answer: The number is: 4 ¼ ; or, write as 4.25 .
_____________________________________________
→Let us check our answer:
_____________________________________________
"Five times the difference of a number and 2" ;
_____________________________________________
→ 5* (x − 2) = 5 * (4.25 − 2) = 5 * (2.25) = 11.25 ;

→ Is "11.25" , SEVEN MORE THAN 4.25??
_________________________________________
→ 11.25 − 4.25 =?? 7 ??? Yes!

An isosceles trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two congruent legs, a pair of parallel bases, and congruent base angles. Prove th

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first define the concepts a little:

We have that when the sides are congruent that is to say that they have the same direction and the same size and also the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles will be the same.

Now, in an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because their two sides are congruent.
