Step-by-step explanation: 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)
(8)(x)+(8)(−3)+7=2x(4−17)(Distribute)
8x+−24+7=−26x
(8x)+(−24+7)=−26x(Combine Like Terms)
8x+−17=−26x
8x−17=−26x
Step 2: Add 26x to both sides.
8x−17+26x=−26x+26x
34x−17=0
Step 3: Add 17 to both sides.
34x−17+17=0+17
34x=17
Step 4: Divide both sides by 34.
34x/34=17/34 x=1/2
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
x² + x² = (14
)²
2x² = 392 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 196 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = 
= 14
Thus the congruent legs are 14 cm

Answer:
Equation of midsegment line: y = (-1/4)x + 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the parallel sides of a trapezoid are contained by the lines:-
y = (-1/4)x +5 and y = (-1/4)x - 1
Midsegment of any trapezoid is the line segment
1. that is parallel to pair of parallel side of trapezoid and
2. that passes through the middle of the trapezoid and cuts the other two sides into equal-half.
It means the midsegment would have same slope as the parallel lines and y-intercept would be in the middle of intercepts of parallel lines.
So y = mx + b
where m = -1/4 and b = (5 - 1)/2 = 4/2 = 2.
Hence, the equation of midsegment would be y = (-1/4)x + 2.
