Since you've told us that this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the 'legs' have equal length.  So we can write

                                                      x + 1 = -x + 7

Add 'x' to each side:                  2x + 1 =       7

Subtract  1  from each side:      2x       =       6

Divide each side by  2 :                x      =       3

Now, if the length of the base is   3x - 3 ,
that length is

                                   3(3) - 3  =  6  .

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The equal amount is 525 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Eric and his two sister shared amount of money in ratio2:7 respectively.

Amount with Eric = 300

It means,

2x = 300

x = 150

So,

7x = 7(150)

= 1050

As the remaining amount shared equally among the sister. So, the equal amount is 525 .

For this case we have the following function:
 <span>w (x) = - 5 (x-8) (x + 4)
 </span><span>Rewriting we have:
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5 (x ^ 2 + 4x - 8x - 32)
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 - 20x + 40x + 160
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 + 20x + 160
 </span><span>Then, deriving we have:
 </span><span>w '(x) = - 10x + 20
 </span><span>We equal zero and clear x:
 </span><span>0 = -10x + 20
 </span><span>10x = 20
 </span><span>x = 20/10
 </span><span>x = 2 seconds
 </span><span>Substituting values:
 </span><span>w (2) = - 5 (2-8) (2 + 4)
 </span><span>w (2) = - 5 (-6) (6)
 </span><span>w (2) = 180 meters
 </span>Answer:
 
The maximum height that the stone will reach is:
 
w (2) = 180 meters
