Given:

m∠G = (x + 44)°

m∠J = 3x°

Let's find the value of x.

Here, we have an isosceles triangle.

An isosceles triangle has equal base angles.

Here, angle J and angle G are the base angles.

Thus, we have:

m∠J = m∠G

3x = x + 44

Let's solve x.

Subtract x from both sides:

3x - x = x - x + 44

2x = 0 + 44

2x = 44

Divide both sides by 2:


\begin{gathered} (2x)/(2)=(44)/(2) \\ \\ x=22 \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

x = 22
