X=_

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

This is an equilateral triangle so all of its angle measures, and side lengths likewise, are equal.

To find x we can use the following equation:

3x - 5 = 2x + 20 export like terms to the same side of the equation

3x - 2x = 20 + 5 (notice how terms change from "+" to "-" and vice versa)

add/subtract like terms

x = 25
