Answer:

the interior angles of any triangle are equal to 180.

In other words m<BAC + m<ABC + m<ACB = 180.

Therefore,

(3x-1) + (8x-35) + (6x-5) = 180

Now that we have an equation, we can solve for x:

(3x-1) + (8x-35) + (6x-5) = 180

Combine like terms:

3x+8x+6x-1-35-5

17x-41 = 180

Add 41 to each side:

17x-41+41 = 180+41

17x=221

Divide by 17 on both sides:

x=13

Now to check if this is correct we need to plug in x for each equation and the three numbers combined should equal 180.

3x-1

3(13)-1

38

6x-5

6(13)-5

78-5

73

8x-35

8(13)-35

104-35

69

Now we just add them to see if they equal 180

38+73+69 = 180

x=13 is valid
