\n" ); document.write( "in an isosceles triangle abc, if ab= bc,. If ab= 5x+ 10, BC 3x+40, and Ac= 2x+30, find the length of each side
\n" ); document.write( "


\n" );
document.write( "Since AB = BC, then: 5x + 10 = 3x + 40
\n" );
document.write( "5x - 3x = 40 - 10
\n" );
document.write( "2x = 30
\n" );
document.write( "x = , or 15 units\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Side AB: 5(15) + 10, or 75 + 10, or  units
\n" );
document.write( "Side BC is also:  units
\n" );
document.write( "Side AC: 2(15) + 30, or 30 + 30, or  units \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
