Ok so basically what u need to do is
First you want to change the fraction into a decimal on this one the decimal is going to be .3333 now your problem looks like 8-.3333x=16 now subtract the 8 and you get -.3333x=16 now divide by -.3333 and you get -48

Explanation:
The triangle is isosceles, because (from the diagram) ∠
A
B
C
=
∠
A
C
B - note how the angle there is marked on both of these. If these angles are equal, this means that the sides
A
C
=
A
B
let A
C
=

We want to find the length of

, which is (

. We know that x
