Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the 2 legs are congruent.

Given the perimeter is 66, then sum the 3 sides and equate to 66, that is

x + 4x - 3 + 4x - 3 = 66 , that is

9x - 6 = 66 ( add 6 to both sides )

9x = 72 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 8

sarah had 28 stickers and put x number of stickers on her binded. haylee had 40 stickers and put three times as many stickers on
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Number of stickers Sarah had = 28

Number of stickers she put on her binder = x.

Number of stickers left with her = 28 - x

Number of stickers Haylee had = 40

Number of stickers she put on her locker = 3x

Number of stickers left with her = 40 - 3x

Both Sarah and Haylee had the same number of stickers left.

28 - x = 40 - 3x

=> 3x - x = 40 - 28

=> 2x = 12

=> x =  = 6
