Number 1 wants you to set up proportions so four numbers equal to 2/1 would be: 6/3 8/4 10/5 12/6, and so on. I'm not sure what they're asking when they say the sum of the first two numbers is equal to 4.8
Answer:
40 + 3x + 4 + 3x + 4 = 180
48+6x=180
48 - 48 + 6x = 180 -4 8
6x = 132
6x/6 = 132/6
x = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
1. since the triangle is isosceles, angles A and C will have the same measures, so to solve for x, you can add another 3x + 4 or you can multiply A by 2.
2. add like terms
3. subtract
4. divide to get x
Remember yo can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
so
remember distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
so first distribute
2(3x)+2(-9)=18x
6x-18=18x
minus 6x both sides
-18=12x
divide both sides by 12
-18/12=x
-9/6=x
-3/2=x
easier way is to first divide both sides by 2
x=-3/2
