Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

if x = 2 then

  • 4x + 1 = 9
  • 3x + 10 = 16
  • 5x - 8 = 2
  • (not equal)

If x = 22.25 then

  • 4x + 1 = 91
  • 3x + 10 = 77.5
  • 5 x - 8 = 102
  • (not equal)

if x = 180 then

  • 4x+1= 721
  • 3x + 10 = 550
  • 5x - 8 = 892
  • (not equal)

If x = 9 then

  • 4x + 1 = 37
  • 3x + 10 = 37
  • 5x - 8 = 37
  • (equal!)

Answer: Triangle FGH is an equilateral with values of x as 9.

Step-by-step explanation: The triangle given is an equilateral because all the given side are equal. The value of x is 9.

  • I don’t know if the question is messed up but adding up all three side after plugging in 9 for x does not give you 180 even though a triangle must be 180 degrees. However, I did try all choices and that was the best one.
