Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The three straight lines in the sides of the triangle means that ALL 3 SIDES ARE EQUAL.
This is an equilateral triangle. So all 3 angles are equal.
We know sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180. Since 3 of the angles are equal, each angle is:
180/3 = 60
The top angle is given as "2x + 10", thus we can say "2x + 10" is equal to 60 degrees. Now we equate and solve for x:
The value of x is 25
