Answer:

BC = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠ A = ∠ C then the triangle is isosceles with AB = BC, that is

3x + 14 = x + 20 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x + 14 = 20 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Thus

BC = 3x + 14 = 3(3) + 14 = 9 + 14 = 23

Solve for x !!!!!!!!

Answer:

D) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

By remote interior angle property if a triangle, we have:

19x° + (18x - 4)° = 144°

(18x - 4 + 19x)° = 144°

(37x - 4)° = 144°

37x - 4 = 144

37x = 144 + 4

37x = 148

x = 148/37

x = 4
