Answer:

Explanation:

3x + x + 60 = 180.

first, we add the x's together.

4x + 60 = 180

then we see if they all have a common multiple. in this case, they do. they are all divisible by 4, so we can use that.

x + 15 = 45

then, just subtract 15 from both sides, that way we get the variable by itself.

x = 30

also, it is a right triangle. the top angle (3x) multiplied by 3 is 90. any triangle that has a 90 degree angle is automatically a right triangle.
