Who is angle "m" ?

Hey, if you come to the forum for the help, why you can not write the problem correctly ?

The problem is one line, and you can not write it correctly.


Consider to visit another web-site for help, teaching you writing . . .

@josgaritmetic assumes that "m" is the angle  "A"   // although he calls it MISTAKENLY as  "B".

I am not so confident :   it can be angle  "B",  too,  which will lead to totally different solution
and totally different answer.


@josgarithmetic, it is not a function of a tutor to fix the visitor's post, when it is nonsensical.

The function of the tutor is to point the visitor to his error.


This case is a classic illustration to my thesis.

No. Not angle m.
Angle B is 12x+6.

If the base is side AC, then the two base angles, congruent, are the interior angle at A and the interior angle at C.

If this is what you meant, then:
%2812x%2B6%29%2B2%287x%2B22%29=180
-
12x%2B6%2B14x%2B44=180
26x%2B50=180
26x=130
highlight_green%28x=5%29


A, 57
B, 66
C, 57
