The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 3x-2. The perimeter of the triangle is 87. Find x

x=13

Explanation:

x+2(3x-2)=87

x+6x-4=87

7x-4=87

87+4=91

7x=91

x=13

81 is a composite number.

radiative zone

explanation    

radiative zone is the layer of the sun which energy is transferred away from the core by radiation. although, the core is the only part of the sun that produces an appreciable amount of heat through fusion. in fact, 99% of the energy produced by the sun takes place within 24% of the sun's radius.
