An isosceles triangle is one in which 2 angles have similar
measure while the other one is different. In this case, the 2 vertex angles
have a measure of 42 degrees, therefore the third angle which is equal to (2x +
3) is:
(2x + 3) + 42 + 42 = 180
2x + 3 = 96
<span>x = 46.5°</span>
If you were to cut a cake diagonally we could say the result would be an oval. Please refer to the image I provided below.
For this case we have to represent the following expression algebraically:
"10 less than x is -45"
So:
10 less than x is represented as: 
Then, the complete expression is represented as:
Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:
Thus, the value of the variable is 
Answer:
<span>With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.</span>
