Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

base is x

one of the legs measure 4x-6

therefore, perimeter is equal to

2 (4x - 6) + x = 96

8x - 12 + x = 96

9x = 96 + 12

9x = 108

x = 108/9 = 12 units

Y= (x-9) (x+3)
juin [17]

Answer:

y = x² − 6x − 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute, you can use something called FOIL.  It stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last.

First, multiply the First term in each factor.

x · x = x²

Now multiply the Outer terms in each factor.

x · 3 = 3x

Next multiply the Inner terms in each factor.

-9 · x = -9x

Finally, multiply the Last terms in each factor.

-9 · 3 = -27

Add them all up:

x² + 3x − 9x − 27

x² − 6x − 27
