The flag of a country contains an isosceles triangle.​ (Recall that an isosceles triangle contains two angles with the same​ mea
weeeeeb [17]

31 degrees, 31 degrees, 118 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the measure of 2 angles of the given isosceles triangle with same measure

Let y be the measure of  3rd angle

So we have x + x + y = 180

Step 2 :

Given that the measure of  3rd angle of  triangle is 25​° more than three times the measure of either of the other two​ angles

So we have , y = 3 x + 25

Step 3:

Substituting for y in the first equation we have,

x + x + 3 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x = 180-25 = 155

=> x = 155/5 = 31

Hence the 2 angles of the triangle are 31 degrees.

Step 4:

we have y = 3 x + 25

=> y = 3 * 31 + 25 = 118

Hence the 3rd angle of given triangle is 118 degrees

1/5x-8=4. what does x. equal​
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply everything by 5, then you can get rid of the fraction and the equation would now look like this:

x - 40 = 20

and now you can answer this simply

x - 40 = 20

  +40   +40

x = 60

and since you multiplied 5 beforehand, now you have to divide by 5 to get the real answer

60 ÷ 5 = 12

therefore, x = 12
