Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

since 2 sides are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles with base angles being congruent , both (9x - 25)

the sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180° , that is

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

18x + 54 = 180 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

18x = 126 ( divide both sides by 18 )

x = 7
