Question

Find the value of x.
and please show the work and explain! Thank you!!

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

The two sides are going to be equal there for you substitute 3 in for x on both sides.

3x+10

3(3)+10

9+10=19

6x+1

6(3)+1

18+1=19

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

we can see that the base angles of the triangle are the same, this means that this is an isoceles triangle and hence the sides are of the same length.

i.e (3x+10) = (6x + 1)

3x+10 = 6x + 1

6x - 3x = 10 - 1

3x = 9

x = 9/3 = 3
