if you isolate y in the top equation to get y=5x+6 then you can substiture y for 5x+6 in the bottom equation because thats what y equals
as of now you have -3x+6(5x+6)=-12 but if you use the distrubite property you would get -3x+30x+36=-12
then if you subtract 36 from both sides you would get -3x+30x=-48 then combine like terms to get 27x=-48 then divide both sides by 27 to get
or x≈1.8
what do you need help with, maybe I can help?
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

It is a nice linear equation. Remember y=mx+b
b is the y intercept you'll see
m is the slope rise over run
I don't like giving answers away but I am ready to help!
