|dw:1456432253761:dw|

OpenStudy (sagewilson):

So what is it you need to find out?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

what x is

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

with work

OpenStudy (freckles):

those 2 angles at that bottom tip are congruent right? what about that angle there at the top base?

OpenStudy (freckles):

|dw:1456432778990:dw|

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

not giving but is congruent im just bad at drawing

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh so the triangles are given as congruent that means there corresponding sides are equal

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

yes lol

OpenStudy (freckles):

but that doesn't make sense... because you will get two different values for x....

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

i just have to solve it and show work im confused

OpenStudy (freckles):

well the question doesn't make sense is what I'm saying x cannot hold two different values at one time

OpenStudy (freckles):

8x=5x+3 gives you a different value for x then the other equation 10x-2=7x

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

well so how would the answer make 1x value it just says solve for x

OpenStudy (freckles):

so there is something wrong with the question

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

idk i need help

OpenStudy (freckles):

are you sure the two triangles are given as congruent? And if so are the side measurements you wrote down correct?

OpenStudy (freckles):

maybe you can provide a picture of the question

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

it doesnt say it just shows that picture and it looks congruent

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

can you help me
