The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 2x-6. The perimeter of the triangle is 38. Find X

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In an isosceles the legs are equal (2x - 6) and the base is x

Perimeter = (x) + (2x - 6) + (2x - 6)

          38  = 5x - 12

        38 + 12 = 5x

            50 =   5x

              \frac{50}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}

               10 = x

Help?????? Does anyone know the answer to this
Rama09 [41]
I think it’s B, or 0.10x+0.15(50-x)=0.12(50)

Because 10% would give you 30ml, and 15% would equal 20ml to get 50ml, according to the equation.

Solve the system of equations.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

8x = 32

x = 4

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5y + 3x = 27

5x – 2.5y = 5

_____________

8x = 32 (equation obtained after adding the two equations)

x = 32/8

x = 4

Plug x = 4 in 2.5y + 3x = 27

2.5y + 3*4 = 27

2.5y + 12 = 27

2.5y = 27 - 12

2.y5= 15

y = 15/2.5

y = 6

n200080 [17]

Answer: 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate ab - 0.50, we want to plug in the given values for a and b and then solve.

(1)(5)-0.5                       [multiply]

5-0.5                             [subtract]

4.5

After plugging in the values of a and b, we found that the solution is 4.5.
