Question

Please help! and show work WXYZ is an isosceles trapezoid with legs WX and YZ and a base XY. If the length of WX is 6x+5, the length of XY is 10x+4 and the length of YZ is 8x-3, find the value of x.

Answer 1

Did you ever get the answer?

Answer 2

If WXYZ is an isosceles trapezoid => The legs of the trapezoid are equal, in our case WX = YZ so their length is equal too, from which results that 6x + 5 = 8x - 3 => 8x - 6x = 5 + 3 => 2x = 8 => x=4.
