In triangle lnm, what is the value of x?

If all sides have the same length, then this is an equilateral triangle. Therefore, the measures of the angles are the same and amount to 60°.

Therefore we have the equations:

7x - 3 = 60    add 3 to both sides

7x = 63      divide both sides by 7

x = 9

11y + 5 = 60        subtract 5 from both sides

11y = 55     divide both sides by 11

y = 5

Check:

m∠N = (7x - 3)° → m∠N = (7(9) - 3)° = (63 - 3)° = 60°

m∠M = (11y + 5)° → m∠M = (11(5) + 5)° = (55 + 5)° = 60°

CORRECT :)
