Answer: w = 31
===================================================
Explanation:
For any triangle, the interior angles always add to 180
(angle1)+(angle2)+(angle3) = 180
(w) + (4w-6) + (w) = 180
(w+4w+w) - 6 = 180
6w - 6 = 180
6w - 6+6 = 180+6 .... adding 6 to both sides
6w = 186
6w/6 = 186/6 ..... divide both sides by 6
w = 31
------------------------------------
Extra info:
This value of w leads to
4w-6 = 4*31-6 = 118
The three angles of the triangle are: 31, 118, 31
Because we have two congruent angles, this means the triangle is isosceles. The sides opposite the congruent angles are the same length.
