Question

Find the value of x,

Answer 1

Answer: x = -7

Concept:

From the given graph, we can see that it is an isosceles triangle since the two base angles are congruent.

In geometry, an isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.

If you are still confused, you may refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation or tell me.

Solve:

Given information

First Side = 7

Second Side = x + 14

Given expression deducted from the definition of an isosceles triangle

Second Side = First Side

Substitute values into the expression

x + 14 = 7

Subtract 14 on both sides

x + 14 - 14 = 7 - 14

$\boxed{x=-7}$

Hope this helps!! :)
