11) Since the triangle has a pair of congruent base angles, it is an isosceles triangle which means that the two pairs of legs are congruent.
Make them equal to each other in an equation.
5x = x + 20
Subtract x from both sides.
4x = 20
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 5
12) The two legs are congruent so that means the base angles must be congruent. First find the measure of the base angles. Create an equation:
x + x + 50 = 180
Combine like terms.
2x + 50 = 180
Subtract 50 from both sides.
2x = 130
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 65
Now make the base angle plus x equal 180, because they form a straight line.
65 + x = 180
Subtract 65 from both sides.
x = 115
13) You know the vertex angle (top angle) is 90 degrees because it is supplementary to a right angle. The triangle is isosceles because the two legs are congruent, so make the base angles plus 90 add up to 180 in an equation.
x + x + 90 = 180
Combine like terms.
2x + 90 = 180
Subtract 90 from both sides.
2x = 90
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 45

<h2>
Answer:</h2>
The answer is 16.
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
Since the 8x is positive, the equation must have y as a positive number.
Let's see this!
An easy way to complete the square if you have the constants for x2 and
But not the non-variable number is to divide the x constant, and then square it.
Example:
The last number must be 16. Let's check it.
