The <span>isosceles triangle has two congruent sides
Their lengths are (</span> x + 3.8 ) and <span>16
Equate them :
x+3.8=16
Solve for x:
3=16-3.8=12.2

<span>Answer:
8.517 in word form is eight and five hundred seventeen thousandths or eight</span>
Let x be the common factor between chickens and ducks. Then:
6x/(5x-63)=3/1
15x-189=6x
9x=189
x=21
6x=123 chickens were on the farm

Yes you have the correct one good job.
The general form of a quadratic (second degree) equation is

, where

is called the Discriminant.
The Discriminant determines how many roots the equation will have as follows:
i) if D>0, the equation has 2 roots.
ii) if D=0, the equation has 1 double root.
iii) if D<0, the equation has no roots.
In our equation,

, a=1, b=-5, c=7
so the discriminant is D=(-5)^2-4*1*7=25-28<0
Thus the equation has no roots.
Remark: the equation has no roots in the Real numbers, but it has 2 roots in a larger set of numbers to be discussed in the future, the Complex numbers.
