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
Answer:
90 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: State what is known
Notice that the 2 lines cut the square in half and create 4 congruant triangles. We know a full circle is 360 degrees and the intersection is a perfect circle formed by 4 angles. We can find the angle AEB by dividing 360 by 4 which gives you 90 degrees
The answer to <span>One eighth of Tony's books are mystery books He has 3 Mystery books how many books does Tony have in all is 24
</span>
Let's solve for h
hx = 0.5x - 9
Step 1: Divide both sides by x.
hx/x = 0.5x - 9/ x
Answer = h = 0.5x - 9/ x
