What is the value of x if you have an isoceles triangle with one angle having a value of x+3 degrees and the base angles having a value of 2x - 2 degrees?
---------------------------
Rule: The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
----------------------
x+3 + 2(2x-2) = 180
x+3 + 4x-4 = 180
5x -1 = 180
5x = 181
x = 36 1/5
