Answer:

  • x = 33
  • base angles: 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent.

For this, it is easiest to find the base angles first. If we let <em>b</em> represent the measure of one of them, the sum of angles is ...

  2b +42 = 180

  b +21 = 90 . . . . . . divide by 2

  b = 69 . . . . . . . subtract 21

The measure of the base angles is 69°.

__

Then we can find the value of x from its relation to the base angle measure:

  (2x +3)° = 69°

  2x = 66 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3

  x = 33 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The value of x is 33.

(x-4)(x-3) so what you do is
 
     x         -4
 x   x^2      -4x

-3 -3x        12

x^2-7x+12
your answer would be -7x

3•f(-4)-3•g(-2)=?<br> Help please
Scilla [17]

Answer:

3⋅f(−4)−3⋅g(−2) = −12f+6g

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

3⋅f(−4)−3⋅g(−2)

Move − 4 to the left of f .

3⋅(−4⋅f)−3⋅(g(−2) )

Multiply−4 by 3.

−12f−3⋅(g(−2) )

Move − 2 to the left of g .

−12f−3⋅(−2⋅g)

and lastly Multiply−2 by −3.

−12f+6g

Hope this helps you out.
