Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x.

The length of a leg is 3x-4.

Perimeter, P = 97

An isosceles triangle has one base. The perimeter of a triangle is given by :

97=x+3x-4+3x-4

97 = 7x-8

97+8=7x

105 = 7x

x = 15

So, the value of x is 15.

Can anyone help me I was self isolating when my class was taught this and I can't get in contact with my teacher
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +2y = 13   -----------------(i)

x + 2y = 7    ----------------(ii)

Multiply the equation (ii) by (-1) and then add.

(i)              3x + 2y = 13

(ii)*(-1)      <u>-x    - 2y = -7 </u>        {Now, add and y will be eliminated}

                 2x       = 6

                        x = 6/2

x = 3

Plug in x = 3 in equation (i)

3*3 + 2y = 13

  9 + 2y = 13

         2y= 13 - 9

         2y = 4

           y = 4/2

y = 2
