EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid. If EH=4x-27 and FG=x+9, find the value of x.
PLEASE HELP ASAP!

If EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid,

if

EH=4x-27+

FG=x%2B9+

EG=3y%2B19

FH=11y-21

then EH=FG and EG=FH

set up equations:

4x-27=x%2B9 solve for x

4x-x=27%2B9

3x=36

x=36%2F3

3y%2B19=11y-21solve for y

11%2B19=11y-3y

30=8y

y=30%2F8

y=15%2F4

y=3.75

so,x=12    and y=3.75

you can also check the length of equal sides and equal diagonals:

EH=4%2A12-27+=21

FG=12%2B9+=21

EG=3%283.75%29%2B19=30.25

FH=11%283.75%29-21=30.25x=12

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
