Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Since all the three angles of the triangle GJH are marked by identical signs, thus they are congruent.

Therefore, triangle GJH is an equilateral triangle.

Measures of all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal.

So,

6x - 5 = 5x

6x - 5x = 5

x = 5

Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Since the problem shows us that all the angles of the triangle are equal, we can confirm this is an equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangles have the same angles and the same side lengths. Knowing this, we can set up an equation to solve for x.

6x - 5 = 5x (Given)

-5 = -x (Subtract 6x on both sides)

5 = x (Divide -1 on both sides)

Therefore, x = 5.
