a. To find x, we can set up an equation using the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
(8x-10) + (6x) + (10x+10) = 180
24x = 180
x = 7.5
b. To determine if the triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene, we need to compare the side lengths. Since we are only given the angle measurements, we cannot definitively say if the triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene. In order to determine the type of triangle, we would need information regarding the side lengths in addition to the angles.
