Please help!! this is for my geometry class

x = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on the left has 3 congruent sides and is equilateral with 3 congruent angles, each of 60°

The 3 angles on the base line sum to 180° , that is

60° + 54° + base = 180°

114° + base = 180° ( subtract 114° from both sides )

base = 66°

The triangle  on the right has 2 congruent sides and is isosceles with base angles congruent , both 66° , then

x = 180° - (66 + 66)° = 180° - 132° = 48°

step-by-step explanation:

first, eliminate the parenthesis:

3

x

+

2

−

4

x

second, group like terms:

3

x

−

4

x

+

2

third, combine like terms:

(

)

x

-2 is the right
