Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 15

Discussion:

The triangle is an isosceles triangle so the base angles are equal. That is,

3x = 5x - 30   =>

3x - 3x =  5x - 3x - 30    =>                (subtract 3x from both sides)

0 =           2x        - 30    =>                (add 30 to both sides)

30 = 2x =>

x = 30/2 = 15                                     (divide both sides by 2)
