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  .

A rectangles length is 2 in more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. Find the dimensions of the rect
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The length is 13 inches and the width is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = LW

The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. This means that

LW = 143 - - - - - - - - - - - - --1

The rectangle's length is 2 in more than its width. This means that

L = W + 2

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 143

W² + 2W - 143 = 0

W² + 13W - 11W - 143 = 0

W(W + 13) - 11(W + 13) = 0

W + 13 = 0 or W - 11 = 0

W = - 13 or W = 11

Since the width cannot be negative, it means that W = 11

L = W + 2 = 11 + 2

L = 13

Which pair of numbers is relatively prime? A. 42 and 77 B. 34 and 55 C. 45 and 102 D. 99 and 123
leonid [27]

Two pair of numbers are said to be relatively prime if there is no integer greater than 1, that divides them both.

Consider the given pair of the numbers to identify which pair is relatively prime.

1. Consider 42 and 77

7 is the number which divides 42 and 77 both. Therefore, they are not relatively prime.

2. Consider 34 and 55

Since, there is no number greater than 1, which divides both the numbers. So, they are relatively prime numbers.

3. Consider 45 and 102

3 is the number divides 45 and 102 both. Therefore, they are not relatively prime.

4.  Consider 99 and 123

3 is the number divides 99 and 123 both. Therefore, they are not relatively prime.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
