Let us start with the unknown. Let us give one of the base angles the
value of x. The other base angle is also x since both the base angles in
an isosceles triangle will be equal. The remaining angle is 40 more
than three times one of the base angles.It is 3x + 40. Here we get the
equation
x+x+3x+40=180
5x + 40 = 180
5x = 180 - 40 = 140
Therefore x = 140/5 = 28
So the angles are 28, 28 and 124.
The third angle is 3 times 28 + 40 = 84 + 40 = 124.

Answer: x = {-1, -3, 2}
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0
Use the rational root theorem to find the possible roots: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
Use Long division, Synthetic division, or plug them into the equation to see which root(s) work <em>(result in a remainder of zero)</em>.
I will use Synthetic division. Let's try x = 1
1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ 1 3 -2 </u>
1 3 -2 -8 ← remainder ≠ 0 so x = 1 is NOT a root
Let's try x = -1
- 1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ -1 -1 6 </u>
1 1 -6 0 ← remainder = 0 so x = -1 is a root!
The coefficients of the reduced polynomial are: 1, 1, -6 --> x² + x - 6
Factor: x² + x - 6
(x + 3)(x - 2)
Set those factors equal to zero to solve for x:
x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3
x - 2 = 0 --> x = 2
Using Synthetic Division and Factoring the reduced polynomial, we found
x = -1, -3, and 2
