P. 3
Then,
o
o
= b + b + 40 = 180
o
= 2b + 40 = 180
By transposing 40 from LHS to RHS it becomes -40
= 2b = 180 – 40
= 2b = 140
Now, divide both the side by 2
= 2b/2 = 140/2
o
= b = 70
o
Hence, 70 is the base angle of an isosceles triangle.
3. Thrice a number when increased by 8 gives 26. Find the number.
Solution:-
3X + 8 = 26
3X = 26 – 8
3X = 18
X = 6
4. Solve 3x + 7 = 35 – x and check your answer
Solution:-
3x + x = 35 – 7
4x = 28
X = 28/4
X = 7
5. A number is as much greater than 84 as it is less than 108. Find the number.
Solution:
