Sample Test Item 42 (2003)

2003-item42.png

This question is testing your knowledge of congruent angles of an isosceles triangle.

After this is recognized, the rest is just alegbra. That is,

(1/2)x - 59 = -3x - 31

Combining like terms, we add 3x from both sides. We add 59 to both sides. We have

(3+ (1/2))x = -31 + 59

(7/2)x = 28

x = 8.

The answer is Choice A.
