Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is equilateral, then the 3 sides are congruent.

Equate any 2 sides and solve for x, that is

7x - 29 = 5x - 13 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x - 29 = - 13 ( add 29 to both sides )

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

The triangle is equilateral, thus the 3 angles are congruent, thus

The measure of each angle is 60°
