since this is an isosceles triangle
5x =40
divide by 5
x=8
the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180
5x+40 + 2y+20 = 180
substitute 40 in for 5x
40 + 40 + 2y+20 = 180
combine like terms
100 + 2y = 180
subtract 100 from each side
2y = 80
divide by 2
y= 40
Y=40 because x=8 making the two bottom angles 40 each and leaving the last angle to be 100 and 100+40+40= 180. Hope this help

2x + b = w
2x = w - b
x = (w - b)/2
First you do 3.5z-2.7z= .8z then you divide .8 with -6, which gives you -7.5 so z= -7.5
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
(5z + 15) - (11z + 2)
= (5z-11z) +(15-2)
= -6z+13
