Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Let's find our third angle:

60 + 60 + A = 180

A = 60

Because all of our angles are the same, the triangle must be equilateral, meaning all of the sides are the same length as well!

(Pick any two sides):

2x + 3 = 4x - 5

(add 5 to both sides):

2x + 8 = 4x

(Subtract 2x from both sides):

2x = 4

(divide both sides by two):

x = 2!
