In triangle GHI ,HI =GH ,m

OpenStudy (tay0913):

I got 40 but im not confident 😕

OpenStudy (decarr432):

First hello again Second you must find an X that works for both 3(?)+4=? and 2(?)-24=? you need to find an x that will be equal when you solve

OpenStudy (decarr432):

can you think of any that might work?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

And don't worry I am here to help guide and teach you :)

OpenStudy (tay0913):

I know that but I'm confused on how might u find m<HIG after u find x

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Is there answer choices given or is it free write?

OpenStudy (tay0913):

Free write

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Okay you say the answer is 40 now is that your final answer?

OpenStudy (tay0913):

Yes

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Okay lets do this. 40+24=? solve please

OpenStudy (tay0913):

64

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Now divide by 2 64/2

OpenStudy (tay0913):

32

OpenStudy (decarr432):

okay take the equation 3x+4 and replace x with 32 and solve please

OpenStudy (tay0913):

100

OpenStudy (decarr432):

now is that the same as the other?

OpenStudy (tay0913):

It's 40 if u substitute x as 32

OpenStudy (decarr432):

yes, you use the same x in both equations so choose one for 2x-24 and you will have an easier time

OpenStudy (tay0913):

Sorry , but .. What do u mean .

OpenStudy (decarr432):

lets take 2x-24 change x with 6 so 2(6)-24=-12 then we take 3x+4 and use 3(6)+4=22 Just change the x :D

OpenStudy (tay0913):

ok. I'm getting there , but the answer will be ??

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Can't tell you play around with some x's and find one that works

OpenStudy (tay0913):

ok , but i don't get it cause my teacher told me the answer will be 40 but we have to solve it ourselves so I'm just going to past on this one .

OpenStudy (tay0913):

but if u still wanna help we can go for it

OpenStudy (decarr432):

The final answer will be 40 is the triangle an equlatiral triangle?

OpenStudy (tay0913):

Yes

OpenStudy (decarr432):

OpenStudy (decarr432):

OpenStudy (tay0913):

Yea . It has 3 congruent sides .
