Find the value of X. The diagram is not to scale.

Is this an equilateral triangle? |dw:1450067882499:dw|

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

Idk..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to assume that it is, because I don't see how we would answer it if it wasn't. So, if all interior angles of a triangle equal 180, and an equilateral triangle has 3 equal angle measures, then what is that measure?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

I don't know..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180/3=?

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so that means for the angle on the left, we need to find a value of 'x' that will equal 60 when input into the equation.

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

I DON'T GET IT!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5x-30)=60 Could you solve that? ^

OpenStudy (braydonlevi99):

X = 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, if the one angle equals 60, then the other value of x needs to equal 120 when input it into the equation (5x)=120
