Solution

Case 1:
If A is 60 and other two angles are equal.
A+B+C=180
60+x+x=180
x=180602=60
So, A=B=C=60
Hence it is an equilateral triangle.

Case 2:
If either one of the equal angles is 60
B=C=60 (Isosceles triangle)
A+B+C=180
x+60+60=180
x=1806060=60
A=B=C=60
Hence it is an equilateral triangle.
