Question

What is the value of x?
Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Considering the fact that this is an equilateral triangle, x would equal 25

Explanation:

since in an equilateral triangle all sides are equal, just pick 2 and solve for x

3x-5=2x+20

3x-2x=20+5

x=25

to check work,

4(25)-30=70

3(25)-5=70

2(25)+20=70

Answer 2

35

Explanation:

Since all the angles are the same in this triangle, all the sides should be the same too.

Hence, 3x - 5 = 4x - 30

5 + -1x = -30

-1x = -35

x = 35
