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:
x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -1 or x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
((x - 3) (x - 2) (x + 1) (x + 5))/x = 0
Multiply both sides by x:
(x - 3) (x - 2) (x + 1) (x + 5) = 0
Split into four equations:
x - 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 3 or x - 2 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 3 or x = 2 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:
x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -1 or x + 5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides:
Answer: x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -1 or x = -5
