Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sided of the triangle.

In an isosceles triangle, there are two equal sides and  a base.

Perimeter = ( 3x - 6) + (3x - 6) + x

            58 = 7x - 12

            58 + 12 = 7x

                   70  = 7x

                    \frac{70}{7} = \frac{7x}{7}

                    10 = x

Solve the equation 4n2 − 16n − 84 = 0 by completing the square.
melomori [17]

4n² - 16n - 84 = 0

Multiply both sides by 1/4 :

n² - 4n - 21 = 0

Add 21 to both sides:

n² - 4n = 21

Complete the square by adding 4 to both sides:

n² - 4n + 4 = 25

(n - 2)² = 25

Solve for n :

n - 2 = ± √25

n - 2 = ± 5

n = 2 ± 5

Then n = 2 + 5 = 7 or n = 2 - 5 = -3.
