The two legs which are not the base are equal.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B1=-x%2B7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28x=3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Knowing x, you can evaluate all three expressions.
\n" ); document.write( "Base is given as 3x-3
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2A3-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%286%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
