Answer:

61

Explanation:

first we set <B and <E equal to each other to find x (they are equal because it is a given in the phrase below the pics)

5x + 8 = 7x - 12

5x + 20 = 7x

20 = 2x

10 = x

now we know x is 10, so substitute it into an equation to find the measure of the vertex of the triangles

5(10) + 8 = 58

subtract 58 from 180 to find what the base angles are combined

180 - 58 = 122

since there are two congruent base angles (the base angles of isosceles triangles are always congruent), we have to divide 122 by 2 to find the measure of a base angle

122 ÷ 2 = 61

<F is a base angle, so <F is 61
