1. find the value of x.

Explanation:

Step1: Use the exterior - angle theorem

The exterior - angle theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non - adjacent interior angles. In an isosceles triangle (since two sides are marked equal), the base angles are equal. Let's assume the base angles are equal. The exterior angle \(3(x + 7)^{\circ}\) is equal to the sum of the two non - adjacent interior angles. One of the non - adjacent interior angles is \(63^{\circ}\), and the other is equal to the angle opposite the equal side. Since the triangle is isosceles, if we let the base angles be equal, and using the property of the exterior angle of a triangle: \(3(x + 7)=y + 63\). Also, in an isosceles triangle, if we assume the two non - exterior - angle - related interior angles: \(y = 63\) (base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal).

Step2: Substitute \(y = 63\) into the equation

Substitute \(y = 63\) into \(3(x + 7)=y + 63\). We get \(3(x + 7)=63+63\).
First, simplify the right - hand side: \(63 + 63=126\). So the equation becomes \(3(x + 7)=126\).
Divide both sides of the equation by 3: \(\frac{3(x + 7)}{3}=\frac{126}{3}\). This simplifies to \(x + 7 = 42\).

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation \(x+7 = 42\). We have \(x=42 - 7\).

Answer:

\(x = 35\)
