Question

Find the value of “X”

Answer 1

The value of x is 27°.

Explanation:

Given that total angles inna triangle is 180°. In order to find the value of x, you have to add up all the expressiobs to form 180° :

(3x - 17)° + (x + 40)° + (2x - 5)° = 180°

6x + 18° = 180°

6x = 180° - 18°

6x = 162°

x = 162° ÷ 2

x = 27°

Answer 2

x = 27

Explanation:

(3x - 17) + (x + 40) + (2x - 5) = 180

6x = 17 - 40 + 5 + 180

6x = 162

x = 27
