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

This is really weird.

-- NONE of the situations matches the equation at the top. 

-- And the equation at the top isn't even really any big deal . . .
it's <em>always</em> true, no matter what  ' t '  is .  If you remove all of
the parentheses and simplify it, it says that  6 = 6.  Well duh !

iren2701 [21]
Ben has mixed up the digit for millions and hundred thousands: he wrote 5 in the place for millions and 6 in the place for hundred thousands, but it should be the other way. I think that he should exchange those two digits in the faulty report.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The answer is B.

This is because A is incorrect, Zach number of minutes didnt increase by an equal factor every month.

C and D are incorrect, Victoria's methods aren't exponential, but Zach's are.

So that leaves the only reasonable answer which is B.
