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

Which of the following is equivalent to 7-2(x + 2) <-4 - 3(1 - x)?

puteri [66]

Answer:

2 < x

Step-by-step explanation:

7-2(x + 2) <-4 - 3(1 - x)

Distribute

7 - 2x-4 < -4 -3 +3x

Combine like terms

3 -2x < -7+3x

Add 2x to each side

3 -2x+2x< -7+3x+2x

3 < -7+5x

Add 7 to each side

3+7 < -7+7+5x

10 < 5x

Divide each side by 5

10/ 5 < 5x/5

2 < x

How do you solve x/3>-1

Goryan [66]

x/3>-1

Isolate the x. Multiply 3 to both sides

(x/3)3 > -1(3)

x > -1(3)

x > -3

x > -3 is your answer

hope this helps

Estimate then answer the equation.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =\frac{58}{12} =4\frac{10}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$7\frac{1}{4} =\frac{7\times 4 +1}{4}=\frac{29}{4}$

$2\frac{5}{12}=\frac{12\times 2+5}{12}=\frac{29}{12}$

To Find:

$7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =?$

Solution

Substituting the above values we get

$7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =\frac{29}{4} -\frac{29}{12}$

Now make both the denominator same by multiplying and dividing by 3 to the first term so we get

$7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =\frac{29\times 3}{4\times 3} -\frac{29}{12}\\\\7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =\frac{87}{12} -\frac{29}{12}\\\\7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =\frac{87-29}{12}\\\\7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =\frac{58}{12} =4\frac{10}{12}$

∴ $7\frac{1}{4} -2\frac{5}{12} =\frac{58}{12} =4\frac{10}{12}$

What is the x-intercept of the graphed line?

nevsk [136]

Answer:

<h3><u>the x-intercept and y-intercept are both 0</u>. </h3><h3 />

Step-by-step explanation: explanation: the y intercept is where the line touches the y-axis (the vertical line in the middle) and the x-intercept is where the line touches the horizontal line (the x-axis) in this case the line is touching both at the same time.
