In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
I believe the answer would be Z < (Z+5)
The only reason an inequality would change would be because a number is divided or multiplied by a negative number. So if it stayed the same, then it would be because there was no division or multiplication by a negative number. Hope I helped :)
Answer:
OPTION B: 162, 486, 1458
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54, . . .
It is a geometric sequence and the common difference is 3.
The general form of a geometric sequence is: a, ar, ar², ar³, . . .
Here a = 2 and r = 3.
term of a Geometric progression is
.
Note that the fourth term is 54.
i.e., 
.
Similarly,
.
Also,
.
Hence, OPTION B is the answer.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 roots are given out of which 2 are real and 1 is imaginary. For a polynomial of least degree having real coefficients, it must have a complex conjugate root as the 4th root. Therefore, based on 4 roots, the least degree of polynomial will be 4. Finding the polynomial having leading coefficient=1 and solving it based on multiplication of 2 quadratic polynomials, we get:
