Answer:
x=5, y=52
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
1) Determine y
Because length AB is equal to length BC (making this an isosceles triangle), angle y is equal to 52 degrees.
y = 52
2) Determine x
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle will always be 180 degrees. Knowing this, we can construct the following equation and solve for x:
[tex]180=52+52+(14x+6)[/tex]
Open up the parentheses
[tex]180=52+52+14x+6\\180=104+14x+6\\180=110+14x[/tex]
Subtract 110 from both sides to isolate 14x
[tex]180-110=110+14x-110\\70=14x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 14 to isolate x
[tex]\frac{70}{14} =\frac{14x}{14} \\5=x[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x is 5.
I hope this helps!
