Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, both legs are always congruent. The length of one leg is given, and the other leg has to be the same. The perimeter of this triangle can be written as:

x+(3x-5)+(3x-5)=39

With this equation, all you need to do is solve for x.

3+3x-5+3x-5=39\\(-5-5)+(x+3x+3x)=39\\-10+7x=39\\7x=49\\x=7

A fair charges 7.25 for admission and 5.50 for a ride pass. Ten friends visited the fair. Not all of the friends purchased ride
Free_Kalibri [48]
7.25(10) + 5.50p = 105.50
72.50 + 5.50p = 105.50
5.50p = 105.50 - 72.50
5.50p = 33
p = 33 / 5.50
p = 6 <=== there were 6 ride passes purchased

∛(x√x) = xᵇ

Cube both sides.

x√x = x³ᵇ

Square both sides.

x² x = x⁶ᵇ

x³ = x⁶ᵇ

Equate the exponents.

3 = 6b

b = ½
