Answer:
try 60 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
if the base is 8 inches then your left with 120 and a triangle is seperated in 3 differnt parts so the 8 inches are already taken by the base so 120/2=60
(trying to isolate/get x by itself in the equation)
5(x + 6) = 50 Distributive property [distribute 5 into (x + 6)]
5x + 30 = 50 Subtraction [subtract 30 on both sides of the equation]
5x = 20 Division [divide 5 on both sides]
x = 4
Subtraction then division, the 2nd option
