In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
You solve this by plugging one equation into the other. Usually you have to rewrite one equation to make this work. In this case I choose to rewrite y-4x=0 as y=4x.
After plugging it into the second, you get:
3x + 6*4x = 9 => 27x = 9 => x=1/3
Putting this solution back into y=4x gives us y=4/3
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
For the adults:
$12 times the 14 adults which is: $168
Then for the kids:
$5 times the 9 kids which is: $45
Add next:
$168 plus the $45 equals $213
A(14)+b(5)=c
11. m=5 p=15
12. g=3 k=3
13. b=40
4x____ = 6 so that both sides equal 24
