Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

the 2 legs of the Δ are congruent (equal ) , as indicated by the dashes through them.

thus the triangle is isosceles with base angles congruent , then

base angles = 2x

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

sum the 3 angles, equate to 180 and solve for x

2x + 2x + 3x + 5 = 180 ( simplify left side )

7 x + 5 = 180 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

7x = 175 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 25
