My answer is x=14 and Y =18 Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! your identification of the triangle is x,x&y which says it is an isosceles triangle then
x+x+(x+4)=46
3x+4=46
3x=46-4
3x=42
x=42/3
x=14 for the equal sides & 14+4=18 for the base.proof
14+14+18=46
46=46
