Since <A is congruent to <C , so triangle ABC is an isoceles triangle and side AB is congruent to BC.
AB = BC
Therefore, we can set up an equation as following:
10x - 7 = 2x + 33
10x - 7 - 2x = 2x + 33 -2x Subtracting 2x from each sides.
8x -7 = 33
8x - 7 + 7 = 33 + 7 Add 7 to each sides.
8x = 40
[tex] \frac{8x}{8} =\frac{40}{8} [/tex] Divide each sides by 40.
So, x = 5
