Answer:

-4

Explanation:

Two legs of the triangle are congruent as shown by the tick marks. This means that this is an isosceles triangle; in an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are also congruent. Which means <A and <B are congruent.

So to solve for x, set 28 and 10x+68 equal to each other.

28=10x+68

First, subtract 68 from both sides

-40=10x

Then, divide both sides by 10

-4=x

If you want to check your answer plug -4 back into the original equation.

28=10(-4)+68

28=-40+68

28=28, which is true, therefore -4 is correct.
