You stated that angle C = angle A, so
BC = AB
then 2x-5 = x+5
x = 10
The problem didn't have a triangle drawn so i drew it myself. I tried many equations but when i substitute it it didn't work.
BC = AB
then 2x-5 = x+5
x = 10
Using this information, we can set up the following equation based on the side lengths:
BC = AB
From the given information, we have:
BC = 2x - 5
AB = x + 5
Setting these two expressions equal to each other, we get:
2x - 5 = x + 5
Next, we can solve this equation for x. To do so, we can start by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
Subtracting x and adding 5 to both sides, we have:
2x - x = 5 + 5
x = 10
Therefore, x = 10.
