Are these two questions Correct? Questions in comments
1 is wrong equilateral triangle, all sides are equal length so side length 1 is 4x-8 side length 2 is x+13 side length 3 is 2x+6 all lengths are equal so 4x-8=x+13 x+13=2x+6 2x+6=4x-8 doesn't matter which one you solve for x, you get the same answer let's choose 4x-8=x+13 4x=x+13+8 4x=x+21 3x=21 x=7
2 is also wrong, use the method I mentioned above and tell me your new answer
If I'm not mistaken, then 1 = 7 2 = 24
try number 2 and give me your step by step
x+3 = 3x-13 3x-13 = 2x-5 2x-5 = x+3
x+3=3x-13 subtract x to both sides x-x+3=3x-x-13 0+3=2x-13 3=2x-13 add 13 to both sides 3+13=2x-13+13 16=2x+0 16=2x divide by 2 8=x
8 isn't the correct answer. I've worked on this quiz before.
the quiz is wrong, and the answer is definitely 8
oh. Well then, I'll talk to my teacher about that. Thank you for the help, I appreciate it.
anytime!
