Question 1:
All sides of an equilateral triangle are equal.
7x - 5 = 3x + 15
Add both sides by 5 and subtract both sides by 3x
4x = 20
x = 5
(Whoa! Watch out for the first choice! We're looking for the length of a side, not the value of x)
Plug x = 5 into 3x + 15.
You get 30. All the sides have a length of 30 in.
The last choice is your answer.
Question 2:
Draw it (or just look at the image).
I'm a terrible artist.
Angle CAB = Angle ACB
Angle CAB + Angle ACB + Angle ABC = 180
2 * Angle CAB + Angle ABC = 180
2x - 6 + 4x - 3 = 180
6x = 189
x = 31.5
(Again! Watch out! We're not looking for the value of x!)
Angle CAB = Angle ACB = x -3 = 31.5 - 3 = 28.5
The first choice is your answer.
Question 3:
The second choice is your answer.
There's not much explanation... That's what it's called.
Have an awesome day! :)
