Answer:

The 3 possible values of x are;

6, 4 and 2

Explanation:

If the triangle is isosceles, then two of the sides must be equal

So we equate the sides, 2 at a time to get the different values of x

3x + 4 = 2x + 10

3x-2x = 10-4

x = 6

3x + 4 = x + 12

3x-x = 12-4

2x = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

2x + 10 = x + 12

2x - x = 12-10

x = 2
