Question

Help With Trapezoids? Please..:(

Answer 1

Here is the problem

Answer 2

If its an isosceles triangle, what do u know about those 2 sides?

Answer 3

I meant trapezoid

Answer 4

I know that they are congruent @nikato
Sorry I took SO long

Answer 5

its ok. so that means u can set up the following equation

5x-32=2x+61

and u should be able to solve for x

Answer 6

So first subtract 61 from both sides right?

Answer 7

u could do that, or u can also instead add 32 to both sides. but it doesnt matter, u'll still get the same answe

Answer 8

SO it would be
5x=2x+93

Answer 9

@nikato

Answer 10

yup and then u wanna try to get allt he x on one side

Answer 11

so divide by 2?

Answer 12

no, just subtract 2x on both sides

Answer 13

okay so 3x=92

Answer 14

*93 and what would u do to isolate the x on the left sidde

Answer 15

than divide by 3 which will get my final answer of 31

Answer 16

so x=31

Answer 17

yes. great job!
