Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs are given to be :

3x - 1 and -x + 27

The base = 5x + 1

One of the properties of an isosceles triangle is that two sides are equal , that is the two legs are equal. This means that

3x - 1 = - x + 27

3x + x = 27 + 1

4x = 28

x = 7

To calculate the length of the base, substitute x = 7 into the length of the base given , that is

Length of the base = 5(7) + 1

L = 35 + 1

L = 36

Which quadratic function has one real solution? 0 = 2(x + 7)(x – 5) 0 = (x – 3)(x – 3) 0 = 2.4(x – 2)(x + 2) 0 = (x – 2)(x – 1)
NikAS [45]

0 = (x – 3)(x – 3)

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Solution is x = 3 (one real solution)

Answer

0 = (x – 3)(x – 3)
