Question

what is the measure of the base in the triangle shown below?
A. 11
B. 45
C. 25
D. 30

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

BOTH SIDES HAVE X SO YOU PUT THEM IN A 1 EQUATION WAY AND SOLVE X:

4X+1=2X+23

4X-2X=23-1

2X=32

X= 32/2=11

THEN YOU GO TO THE BASE AND CHANGE X AND SOLVE THE EQUATION WITH X=11

3x11-8

33-8= 25=BASE
