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: The last choice is correct. Edna can score 5 times as many points in the next level as in the level she has reached
Step-by-step explanation: chart of values for 
x is the level y, points possible)
x y
1 5
2 25
3 125
4 625
5 3125
You can see the exponential pattern
For what it's worth, two views of the graph of the equation are attached
The point values are astronomical!
Replace x in the equations and see which one gets the matching y :
-5(0) = 0 +1 = 1
-5(1) = -5 + 1 = -4
-5(-1) = 5 +6 = 6
The first equation works.
304 would be the correct answer
