Let x = the number of alternative schools.
Therefore, 2x - 4 = 48.
2x -4 +4 = 48 + 4
2x = 52
x = 26
Therefore, there are 26 alternative schools(You could check this answer by substituting x=26 into the equation above.).
The answer is 40/33
Hope this helps
Answer:
22cm,24cm,24cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us call one of the other sides x
the shortest side = 2x-26
in an isosceles, 2 sides are equal (x in this case)
so we now have sides of x,x and 2x-26
form an eqution from this.
4x-26=70
4x=96
x=24
24 x 2 = 48 - 26 = 22
thus, the shortest side is 22cm and the other sides are both 24cm
