The isosceles triangle is missing so i have attached it.
Answer:
Length of unknown side = 5p + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In isosceles triangle, two of the sides are equal. In the attached triangle, we see that one of the equal sides is given as 5p + 3.
Thus,the second equal side is also 5p + 3.
Now, perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three sides.
We have two sides and let the third side be denoted as x.
Thus;
Perimeter = (5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x
We are given perimeter = 15p + 12
Thus;
(5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x = 15p + 12
10p + 6 + x = 15p + 12
Rearranging, we have;
x = 15p - 10p + 12 - 6
x = 5p + 6
Since she runs 6 miles each day and there 7 days per week, you will have to multiply 6
times 7.
But since you have to use distributive properties, multiply like this (6)(7)
6 is equal to
Now turn 7 into a fraction, so its
Now multipy (6)(
)
Multiply the numerators, so its 7 * 13 which gives you 91 and multiply the denominators so its 1 * 2 which gives you 2.
Put that back into a fraction as
Divde it to change it to a mixed number and the answer is 45
