Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles that are marked are called "vertical angles" (I think of a pair of scissors) The two angles are equal to each other. (They get bigger or smaller together, like a pair of scissors)
So, set them equal to each other and solve.
3x + 50 = 6x - 10
SUBTRACT 3x from both sides.
50 = 3x - 10
ADD 10 to both sides.
60 = 3x
DIVIDE both sides by 3.
20 = x
s for length of either equal side
b for the unequal side
b=-2+2*(s+s) and 2s+b=40
b=2*2s-2
b=4s-2
2s+4s-2=40
6s-2=40
6s=42
s=7
b=4*7-2
b=28-2
b=26

I really didn't understand the question or what to do, but I tried.
