The length of the base on an isosceles triangle is 5x. The length of
a leg is 6x + 8. The perimeter of the
triangle is 107. Find the length of the
base.

455/17 or 26 13/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is an isosceles triangle the legs are the same length.

2(6x+8) + 5x= Perimeter

12x+16+5x= Perimeter

Perimeter =107

17x=107-16

17x=91

x=91/17

Since we are trying to find the base which is 5x, we can substitute.

5*91/17= 455/17 or 26 13/17

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
