find the value of x
16
2x-6
16 is a length of the triangle and 2x-6 is a length inside the triangle that I need to fin. If anyone knows what the shape look like please help me? I forgot how to do this! Thank you!!
To find the value of x, we need to use the given information about the lengths of the triangle. Let's start by understanding the problem.
You mentioned that 16 is a length of the triangle, and 2x-6 is a length inside the triangle that you need to find. From this description, we can assume that 16 represents the length of one side of the triangle.
Now, let's proceed with solving for x.
Since we know that the length inside the triangle is 2x-6, we can set it equal to 16:
2x-6 = 16
To find x, we'll begin by isolating the variable term (2x) on one side of the equation:
2x = 16 + 6
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
2x = 22
To solve for x, we need to isolate it by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
(2x)/2 = 22/2
The 2's on the left side cancel out, and on the right side, 22 divided by 2 is equal to 11:
x = 11
Therefore, the value of x is 11.
no idea what "a length inside the triangle" is supposed to mean.
do you mean an altitude? A median?
is one side of the triangle 16?
