Answer:

Stephen has 9 trees

Alice has 21 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>At the beginning:</u>

Stephen = x trees

Alice = x + 12 trees

<u>At the end:</u>

Alice = (x + 12) - 4 trees

Stephen = x + 10 trees

Total = 36

Then

((x+12)-4)+(x+10)=36\\ \\(x+12-4)+(x+10)=36\\ \\(x+8)+(x+10)=36\\ \\x+8+x+10=36\\ \\2x+18=36\\ \\2x+18-18=36-18\\ \\2x=18\\ \\x=9

Stephen - 9 trees

Alice - 9 + 12 = 21 trees

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 4x - 2. The perimeter of the triangle is 95. Find x
adell [148]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

sides of triangle measure: 'x', '4x-2' and '4x-2' since isosceles means both legs are equal

perimeter is the sum of all sides, so set up equation:

95 = 4x - 2 + 4x - 2 + x

95 = 8x - 4 + x

95 = 9x - 4

99 = 9x

x = 11

M∠1=28°, m∠6=65°, m∠5=65°. Find m∠MAX
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

<MAX = 93

Step-by-step explanation:

Since <MAX is technically <1 + <5, we know that <1 is 28 and <5 is 65. We can add both of these angles up to solve for <MAX, which is 28 + 65 = 93.
