Question

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

x = 8

y = 6

Explanation:

First and foremost, it's an equilateral triangle, therefore all sides and angles are equal.

Knowing that the sum of angle in a triangle is 180°, therefore each angle is 60°.

Then equating (7x+4)° to 60, we have that,

7x+4=60

7x=60-4

7x=56

x=56÷7

x=8.
