Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

73 + 6x + 4 + 8y - 7 = 180

this is an isosceles triangle so the measure of both legs is equal:

8y - 7 = 73 add 7 to both sides

8y = 80 divide both sides by 8

y = 10

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180.

73 + 73 + 6x + 4 = 180 add like terms

150 + 6x = 180 subtract 150 from both sides

6x = 30 divide both sides by 6

x = 5
