Question

I have to find value the of x.

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

The triangle shown is isosceles since base angles are equal

Hence the 2 sides are equal, thus

3x - 2 = 16 ( add 2 to both sides )

3x = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 6

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

The triangle shown is isosceles since base angles are equal

Hence the 2 sides are equal, thus

3x - 2 = 16 ( add 2 to both sides )

3x = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
