Answer:

12

Explanation:

As you replied in the comment, I will assume this is an equilateral triangle.

This means:

4x - 10 = 5x - 22 = 3x + 2

We will only look at 2 of these equations for now - the first two.

4x - 10 = 5x - 22

Rearrange to get x on one side and the integers on the other.

-10 + 22 = 5x - 4x

12 = x

Now we will substitute this into all 3 equations to check if it's right. If it is, they will all equal the same value.

4x - 10 = 4(12) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38

5x - 22 = 5(12) - 22 = 60 - 22 = 38

3x + 2 = 3(12) + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38
