Answer:
x = 19
A = 30°
B = C = 75°
Step-by-step explanation:
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the congruent sides have the same measures.
A = B
3x +18 = 7x -58
76 = 4x . . . . . . . . add 58-4x
19 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Then the equal angles measure ...
A = B = 3(19) +18 = 75
C = 2(19) -8 = 30
Angles A, B, C measure 75°, 75°, 30°, respectively.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so you could write ...
(3x +18) +(7x -58) +(2x -8) = 180
12x = 228 . . . . . add 48
x = 19 . . . . . divide by 12
You would simply do -102-125 to give -227 feet below the surface
Lets price of article = x
Tax is 8% of article = 0.08x
x+0.08x=7.02
1.08x=7.02
x=7.02/1.08
x=6.5
The retail price is $6.50.
