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 ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
given
x² - 6x + 1 = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
x² - 6x = - 1
To complete the square
add (half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides
x² - 6x + (- 3)² = - 1 + (- 3)²
x² - 6x + 9 = - 1 + 9
(x - 3)² = 8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 3 = ±
= ± 2
( add 3 to both sides )
x = 3 ± 2
The answer is 137° because supplementary means the 2 angles must equal 180°
Answer:
slope is m=2
Step-by-step explanation:
5-(-7/3)=22/3
divided by
8/3-(-1)=11/3
=22/3*3/11=2/1*1/1=2
