so it says the answer is 8x + 6 < 38

but idk where the 38 comes from

[sterile path]

Where is the problem

[sterile path]

Alright so

We have AB = CB and the perimeter is 8x + 6

so what are AB and CB in terms of x

[hazy nebula]

oh sorry

idk what they r in terms of x

8x + 6 - 4x?

[sterile path]

ok

and we need to divide by 2

since there are 2 sides that are the same

[hazy nebula]

so 4x + 6 /2?

it’s 2x + 3

[sterile path]

yes

[hazy nebula]

so how i get to 8x + 6 < 38

[sterile path]

So our other statement says that AB is less than 11 right

[hazy nebula]

yes

[sterile path]

So set AB equal to 11 to solve for the minimum

Value of x that is not possible

[hazy nebula]

4?

[sterile path]

Yes

[sterile path]

So

Plug in the values for x

Since the sides are 2x + 3, 2x + 3, and 4x

[hazy nebula]

ooooh okay okay

i see now

thank you

8 * 4

• 6

= 38

[sterile path]

Yes

[hazy nebula]

👍

[sterile path]

That's where they got 38 from

[hazy nebula]

okay thanks a lot
