Answer:

  x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the base and the two equal legs:

  51 = x + 2(3x -6)

  51 = 7x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  63 = 7x . . . . . . . . add 12

  9 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

this is a clear picture from the last one. can u show me the steps of how u worked out the answer plz
azamat

One piece at a time:

4(p+2) means 4 times everything inside the parentheses.
That's 
               4(p)  +  4(2)  =  4p + 8 .

3(2p-3) means 3 times everything inside the parentheses.
That's   
               3(2p)  +  3(-3)  =  6p - 9 .

Now add everything up:

               4p + 8 + 6p - 9 .

Add all the p's together:   4p + 6p = 10p

Add all the plain numbers together:   8 - 9 = -1

The final result is:        10p - 1 .

Lynn can type 60 words per minute. If she types for 30 minutes, how many words does she type in all?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:1800 words

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply how many words per minute she types by how many minutes she types. In this case 60x30=?. The easy way to do this is drop the 2 zeros and do  6x3=18. In the original equation we dropped the 2 zeros. Now we add them back on the back of the 18 and get 1800.
