Hi,
One of the base angles of an isosceles triangle is 2 degrees more than 5 times the vertex angle
find the angles; base angle

Isosceles Triangle, Base angles are equal
(5x+2) + (5x+2) + x = 180° |Note: Sum of the angles in a Triangle = 180°
11x = 176
x = 16° and the Base Angles are 82°
CHECKING our answer***
16° + 82° + 82° = 180°
