Sample Test Item 42 (2003)

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.
