Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 15

Discussion:

The triangle is an isosceles triangle so the base angles are equal. That is,

3x = 5x - 30 =>

3x - 3x = 5x - 3x - 30 => (subtract 3x from both sides)

0 = 2x - 30 => (add 30 to both sides)

30 = 2x =>

x = 30/2 = 15 (divide both sides by 2)

Regards,

MrB

P.S. I'll be on vacation from Friday, Dec 22 to Jan 2, 2019. Have a Great New Year!
