$\text{If the number is x,}\\\\~~~~~\dfrac 47 \cdot x =36\\\\\implies 4x = 36 \times 7\\\\\implies x =\dfrac{36 \times 7}4\\ \\\implies x = 9 \times 7\\\\\implies x = 63\\\\\text{Hence, the number is 63.}$

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\:x = 63}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

4/7th of a number = 36

Let's take the unknown number as 'x'.

Now,

4/7 × x = 36

Take the reciprocal of 4/7 to the other side of the equation .

x = 36 × 7/4

Cancel 36 by 4.

x = 9 × 7

Multiply the 2 numbers

x = 63

X=12. So this one says that it has 3 congruent sides so therefore it has to have 3 congruent angles. Here we have angle 2 and we have angle 60. Given the definition of triangle congruence, we can say that 60 is angle 2 and that the third angle is also 60 but it’s not relevant in this problem. So knowing that angle 2 is 4x+12 we solve for x by seeding that equal to 60 and then solving for x we get x=12. Hope this helps!!!!
