The length of the base is 6 and the length of each leg is 10.

In order to find this, we can start by making the length of the base x. Now we know that the legs are 4 longer we can mark them as x + 4. Since there are two of them, we can add x + x + 4 + x + 4 and set equal to 26 to find the value of x.

x + x + 4 + x + 4 = 26

3x + 8 = 26

3x = 18

x = 6

Now we can plug this in for our leg length as well to find that.

x + 4 = Leg

6 + 4 = Leg

10 = leg

What is mean of 8,3,3,7 and 4
Marina86 [1]
The mean is the average of the numbers. To obtain it, you add all the numbers together and divide by the number of numbers. So:

8+3+3+7+4= 25

25:5= 5

So the answer is: the mean is 5.

Factor completely, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. <br> 6х^2 - 3х - 30
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

3(x + 2)(2x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 3x - 30 ← factor out 3 from each term

= 3(2x² - x - 10) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 10 = - 20 and sum = - 1

The factors are + 4 and - 5

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 4x - 5x - 10 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term

= (x + 2)(2x - 5), thus

2x² - x - 10 = (x + 2)(2x - 5) and

6x² - 3x - 30

= 3(x + 2)(2x - 5) ← in factored form

Guy is pouring a new patio for his house.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

50 + 12.50h = 143.75....where h = # of hrs

12.50h = 143.75 - 50

12.50h = 93.75

h = 93.75 / 12.50

h = 7.5 (or 7 1/2) hrs <====
