Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, then

x + 8 = 48 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

8x + 8 = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

8x = 40 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 5

Then

leg = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

Y - 2 = -3/4 (x - 6)
y = -3/4 (x - 6) + 2
When, x = -2,
y = -3/4 (-2 - 6) + 2 = -3/4 (-8) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
One point is (-2, 8)
When, x = 2,
y = -3/4 (2 - 6) + 2 = -3/4 (-4) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5
Another point is (2, 5)

The first amount would be the original amount as the answer because you are adding and then subtracting the same number. If the increase was 150% then the answer would be 50% more because 150%-100%=50%.
