Let Peter's hit be x and Alice's runs be y.
x = 2(y - 6) . . . (1)
x + y = 18 . . . (2)
Putting (1) into (2) gives,
2y - 12 + y = 18
3y = 18 + 12 = 30
y = 30/3 = 10
x = 2(10 - 6) = 2(4) = 8
Therefore, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 home runs.
A box or square is drawn on the right angle triangle to show that it is a right triangle
The perimeter is 16, according to my calculations.
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x.
The length of a leg is 3x-4.
Perimeter, P = 97
An isosceles triangle has one base. The perimeter of a triangle is given by :
97=x+3x-4+3x-4
97 = 7x-8
97+8=7x
105 = 7x
x = 15
So, the value of x is 15.
