Solve the perimeter for an isosceles triangle, p=2a+b, for a.

a= 1/2p-b

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2a+b

divide by 2 on both sides

1/2 p = a+b

subtract b from both sides

1/2 p - b = a

flip equation (not needed, just personal preference)

a= 1/2p-b

(Sorry if I didn't understand well enough and got it wrong)

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
