Solve for x.



Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

x = 9

y = 10

Explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle so all its angles are congruent and 60° each.

1. We can write the following equation to find the value of x based on the above mentioned information:

6x + 6 = 60

• Subtract x from both sides of the equation.

6x = 54

• Divide both sides by 6.

x = 9

2. We can write a similar equation to find the value of y:

5y + 10 = 60

• Subtract 10 from both sides.

5y = 50

• Divide both sides by 5.

y = 10
