In the isosceles triangle, find a and b if you knew the perimeter was 20x+35

Mathematics

Answer:

a=8

b=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Isoceles means we will have 2 congruent sides in this triangle.

So it appears we are to assume it is sitting on its base which means that other side has measurement ax+9 as well

So we have the sum of the 3 sides is the perimeter.

That means we have the equation:

(ax+9)+(ax+9)+(4x+b)=20x+35

Combine like terms:

(a+a+4)x+(9+9+b)=20x+35

(2a+4)x+(18+b)=20x+35

This implies 2a+4=20 and 18+b=35.

2a+4=20

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2a=16

Divide both sides by 2:

a=8

18+b=35

Subtract 18 on both sides:

b=17

So a=8 and b=17.

Kim solved the equation below by graphing a system of equations. log base 2 (3x-1) = log base 4 (x+8)
kompoz [17]

Answer:

solution is

x=1.353,y=1.613

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given equation as

log_2(3x-1)=log_4(x+8)

Firstly, we will find equations

First equation is

y=log_2(3x-1)

Second equation is

y=log_4(x+8)

now, we can draw graph

and then we can find intersection point

we can see that

intersection point is (1.353,1.613)

so, solution is

x=1.353,y=1.613

Re-write the expression<br> as a product with the<br> greatest common factor.<br> (54 +99)
algol13
Find the prime factorization of 54
54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
Find the prime factorization of 99
99 = 3 × 3 × 11
To find the GCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 3 × 3
GCF = 9
