The legs of an isosceles triangle have lengths of 2x+4 and -x+16. The base has the length of 3x+2. What is the length of the base?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Well, we know that the legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent, so that implies that\[2x+4 = -x+16\]Solve for \(x\), and use that value to find the length of the base from \(3x+2\)
