Question 656624: If you have an isosceles triangle and your trying to find x on the two equal sides. On one side its 3x+20 the other side says 5x. How do you solve for x? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Hint: They are equal sides. So the expression representing the measure of one of the equal sides must be equal to the expression representing the measure of the other equal side. Once you have two expressions in the same variable that are equal to each other, you have an equation that you can solve for that variable.
