Answer:
x = 13ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The isosceles triangle is a polygon with three sides, two being equal and the other unequal.
The angles P and N will also be equal and the M other different.
PM ≅ MN
∠P ≅ ∠N
PN = 2x
because the line starting at M divides the triangle into two sections
26 = 2x
2x = 26
x = 26 /2
x = 13ft
Steps to solve:
5(x + 1) = 20
~Distributive property
5x + 5 = 20
~Subtract 5 to both sides
5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5
~Simplify
5x = 15
~Divide 5 to both sides
5x/5 = 15/5
~Simplify
x = 3
Best of Luck!
Shouldnt there be a picture or something?
b) -4
- 8x +4 =36
First, we subtract 4 from 36 to get 32
36-4=32
-8x=32
Since a negative times a negative equals a positive, then the answer has to be negative because 36 is positive.
32 divided by 8 = 4
B) -4
