Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is in the above image
We know that for every 5 red bricks there were 2 gray bricks.
The total amount of red bricks and grey bricks in this sample is 7.
5 red bricks + 2 grey bricks = 7 bricks
Now, we divide 175 "total number of bricks used" by 7 "5 red bricks + 2 grey bricks = 7 bricks" and we will get a quotient of 25.
Now we know that 25 bricks is 
of the wall. The gray bricks are 
so we can multiply 25 by 2 and we will get a product of 50. If 1/7 = 25 grey bricks so 2/7 would be the grey bricks.
175 - 50 = number of red bricks.
Therefore, there were 125 red bricks.

Remark
Base angles of Isosceles triangles are equal.
Equation
That means that 8x + 14 = 14x - 15
Solution
8x + 14 = 14x - 15 Add 15 to both sides
8x + 14+15 = 14x Combine
8x + 29 = 14x Subtract 8x from both sides
8x - 8x + 29 = 14x - 8x Combine
29 = 6x Divide by 6
x = 29/6
x = 4 5/6
Answer
x = 4 5/6 or 4.833
8x + 14 = 8 * (4 5/6) + 14
8x + 14 = 38 2/3 + 14
8x + 14 = 52 2/3 or 52.6666
14x - 15 = 14 *(4 5/6) - 15
14x - 15 = 67 2/3 -15
14x - 15 = 52 2/3 or 52.666
