Answer:

x = -16 / 11

Explanation:

Twelve Less Than A number: x - 12

Is The Same As: =

Twelve Times The Number: 12x

Increased By Four: + 4

x - 12 = 12x + 4

Subtract 12x from both sides

x − 12 − 12x = 12x + 4 − 12x

−11x − 12 = 4

Add 12 to both sides

−11x − 12 + 12 = 4 + 12

−11x = 16

Divide both sides by -11

−11x / -11 = 16 / -11

x = -16 / 11

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

$\overline{AB} \cong \overline{BC}$ (Triangle ABC is isosceles)

$m\angle CAB=m\angle CBA=30^{\circ}$ (base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent)

$\angle MCB=90^{\circ}$ (In triangle CMB, angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees)

$\angle ACM=30^{\circ}$ (triangle sum theorem)

$MB=24$ (30-60-90 triangle CMB)

$AB=12$ (sides opposite congruent angles in a triangle are congruent)

$AB=36$ (segment addition postulate)
