Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if the base=x

length of one leg is =4x-6

length of the other leg is also =4x-6 (isosceles)

P=x+4x-6+4x-6=51

9x-12=51

9x=51+12

9x=63

x=63/9=7

x=7

47/7 as a mixed number in siplest form

puteri [66]

For this fraction, you would have to see how many times 7 goes into 47. So, 6 times as 7 times 6 is 42. Subtract 42 from 47, and this would be your remainder:

6 $\frac{5}{7}$
