13. AQRS is an equilateral triangle. If OR is seven less than twice x, RS is 61 less than five times
x, and QS is 11 more than x, find x and the measure of each side.
14. ACDE is an isosceles triangle with CD = DE. If CD = 9x – 25, DE = 6x + 8, and
CE = 10x – 73, find x and the measure of each side.
