So it is an isosceles triangle that means that the bottom two angles are equal...
so
40 = 5x
divide both sides by 5 and you get 8
now the triangle angles add up to 180
we make an equation out of it...
(2y + 20 ) + ( 5(8)) + 40 = 180
2y + 20 + 40 + 40 = 180
combine like terms
2y + 100 = 180
so subtract 100 from both sides
2y = 80
divide by 2 to isolate the variable
y = 40
You are correct!!! :)

- sin∅ = opposite over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define variables</u>
∅ = 39°
opposite leg = 9
hypotenuse = x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute: sin39° = 9/x
- Multiply <em>x</em> on both sides: xsin39° = 9
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 9/sin39°
- Evaluate: x = 14.3011
- Round: x ≈ 14.30
1/8x - 5 < - 8 7x - 4 > 38
+ 5 +5 +4 +4
1/8x < -3 7x > 42
÷1/8 ÷1/8 ÷7. ÷7
x = 24 x > 6
