Answer:

x = 16

Explanation:

The triangle in question is an isosceles triangle which means :

m<Q = m<P and the sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180

so we can find the value of x using the following equation:

5x - 2 + 3x + 3 + 3x + 3 = 180 add like terms

11x + 4 = 180 subtract 4 from both sides

11x = 176 divide both sides by 11

x = 16
