Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
m1 + m2 = 180
3x - 17 + 5x + 21 = 180
3x + 5x + 21 - 17 = 180
8x + 4 = 180
8x = 180 - 4
8x = 176
x = 176 / 8
x = 22
The answer is C, 10 7/15 !
The term equivalent to 
is :
Answer:
The vertex angle = 28 degrees.
Each of the base angles = 76 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.
The relation between the vertex angle and one of the base angles is as follows:
2x + y = 180 where x = the measure of a base angle and y = the measure of the vertex angle.
Also, from the information given in the question:
x = 3y - 8
so we have the system of equations:
2x + y = 180........(1)
x - 3y = -8...........(2)
Multiply equation (2) by -2:
-2x + 6y = 16......(3)
Adding (1) and (3):
7y = 196
y = 28.
Substituting for y in equation (2):
x - 3(28) = -8
x = -8 + 84
x = 76.
