X= a number

Twice the sum of a number (x) plus 73 equals 156.

EQUATION:
2(x + 73)= 156

Not sure if you need to solve it too, but here's how to solve:

2(x + 73)= 156
multiply 2 by all in parentheses

(2*x) + (2*73)= 156
2x + 146= 156

subtract 146 from both sides
2x= 10

divide both sides by 2
x= 5

The missing number is 5.

CHECK:
2(x + 73)= 156
2(5 + 73)= 156
2(78)= 156
156= 156

Hope this helps! :)

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length , a, that are longer than the length of the base , b. The perimeter of the

Sholpan [36]

We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7
where b represents the base.

Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a

We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm
