Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Base angles of Isosceles triangles are equal.

Equation

That means that 8x + 14 = 14x - 15

Solution

8x + 14 = 14x - 15              Add 15 to both sides

8x + 14+15 = 14x               Combine

8x + 29 = 14x                   Subtract 8x from both sides

8x - 8x + 29 = 14x - 8x    Combine

29 = 6x                            Divide by 6

x = 29/6

x = 4 5/6

Answer

x = 4 5/6 or 4.833

8x + 14 = 8 * (4 5/6)   +  14

8x + 14 = 38 2/3 + 14

8x + 14 = 52 2/3 or 52.6666

14x - 15 = 14 *(4 5/6) - 15

14x - 15 = 67 2/3   -15

14x - 15 = 52 2/3 or 52.666

Find the slop for the given graph and y-intercept <br><br> I got a pic to lol
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The slope is rise/run
3 up and 3 to the left: 3/3 = 1
The slope is 1

Assuming graph is 1 units per box and y intercept is (0,y), looking at the graph you can see it’s (0,-1)
The y intercept is (0,-1)

The measures of two supplementary angles are (4x + 8) and (6x + 3)º.
Illusion [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angle is an angle that is 180 degrees. We are given two angles that add up to 180, but we need to solve for x first.

The first step is to solve both angles. We know that both angles added together are supplementary, so they are equal to 180.

4x + 8 = unknown angle

6x + 3 = unknown angle

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

Because we know a supplementary angle is 180 degrees, we can solve for x to find both angles.

Solve for x.

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

10x + 11 = 180

10x = 169

x = 16.9

Now, we know the value of x, so we plug in x for both angles to determine which angle is smaller.

4x + 8

4(16.9) + 8

67.6 + 8 = 75.6 degrees

and the other angle

6x + 3

6(16.9) + 3

101.4 + 3 = 104.4 degrees

Now we know that the smaller angle is 75.6 degrees.

Also, to make sure the math is correct, when plugging in both numbers after finding x, they should add to 180.

75.6 + 104.4 = 180 so we know they are supplementary for sure.

Good luck!

For commission as a realtor, Michelle earns $349 plus 3% of the purchase price for each home she helps buy or sell. If she earne
Papessa [141]

Well, let us solve this step by step.

We know that Michelle earns 349 plus 3% of the Purchase price. Let us call the Purchase price as P, so that:

 

Earnings, E = 349 + 0.03 P

 

So if she earns 8,965 (E = 8,965) so we can find P:

 

8,965 = 349 + 0.03 P

0.03 P = 8,616

P = $287,200
