The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 55, 55 and 70.

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base angles and a vertex angle.

Let b =the measure of one of the base angles.

Let v = the measure of the the vertex angle.

The vertex angle is 40 degrees less than the sum of the base angles.

v = b + b − 40 = 2 b − 40

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.

b + b + v = 180

Substitute 2 b − 40 for v .

b + b + 2 b − 40 = 180

4 b − 40 = 180

+40+40

Combine like terms.

Add 40 to both sides.

4b=220

Divide by 4

4 b/4 = 220 /4

b = 55

v = 2 b − 40

v = 2 ( 55 ) − 40 = 70

Use a inequality symbol to compare -3x+7 -10-2
abruzzese [7]
Hey there,

Let's remember that a (inequality symbol) is things like (<), (>), (≤),(≥), (≠).

So, I believe that (-3x+7) and (-10-2) are separate. So we will find that out :)

Let's first do (-3x+7). As simplifying this expression here, we take that "x" of for a while and just stick to (-3+7). 

    -3
+   7
______
     4

Let's bring that "x" back, and the answer would be 4x for a while.

So far, 4x is the answer.
_____________________________________________________________

Now, Let's work on the other side.

We are talking about (<span>-10-2)

    -10
-      2
_______
</span>     -12

So, by solving the answer to (-10-2), we got -12.

So, let's determine what is greater . . . . . 

What \ is \ greater?

-12 or 4.

-12 is on the negative side, and the number 4 is positive. This would conclude that 4 is great than -12.

Your correct answer would look like . . . 

<span>(-3x+7) > (-10-2)
</span>
I really hope this helps you alot.
