Hey there!

Things to remember:

  • The total angle in a triangle is 180°
  • The base angles in an isosceles triangle are equal.

_______________________________________________

(6) One of the base angle is (9x-25)

Hence, the angles are:

(9x-25) , (9x-25) and 104

Their sum is 180.

Hence,

... 9x-25+9x-25+104=180

... 18x-50+104=180

... 18x+54=180

... 18x=180-54

... 18x=126

... x=126/18

... x=7

Hence, the value of the variable is '7'.

_______________________________________________

(10) In this triangle, the base angle is 20, vertex angle is 11x-65

Hence,

The angles are (11x-65),29 and 29

Their sum is 180°

Hence,

...11x-65+29+29=180

...11x-65+58=180

...11x-7=180

...11x=180+7

...11x=187

...x=187/11

...x=17

Hence, the value of the variable is 17.

Hope my answer helps!
