Question

2x - 2 = x + square
x = square

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of isosceles triangle

Since the triangle is isosceles (two sides are equal), the base - angles are equal. So \(2x - 2=x + 2\)

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Subtract \(x\) from both sides of the equation \(2x - 2=x + 2\).
We get \(2x-x-2=x - x+ 2\), which simplifies to \(x-2 = 2\).
Then add \(2\) to both sides: \(x-2 + 2=2 + 2\), so \(x = 4\)

Answer:

The first box is \(2\), and the second box is \(4\)
