Option C: 11 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of base of isosceles triangle = b =  x

The length of leg of triangle = a = 3x-7

Perimeter of triangle = 63

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is given by

Perimeter = 2a + b

Putting values in the formula

63 = 2(3x-7) + x

63 = 6x-14+x

63 = 7x-14

63+14=7x-14+14

77=7x

7x=77

Dividing both sides by 7

The value of x is 11.

Hence,

Option C: 11 is the correct answer.

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
