Answer:

Explanation:

we know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180

(5x-2)+(9x+3)+(11x-21)=180

=5x-2+9x+3+11x-21=180

25x=180+20

25x=200

x=8

Hi there!


\large\boxed{x = 8}

Recall that all angles in a triangle sum up to 180°, therefore:

(9x + 3) + (5x - 2) + (11x - 21) = 180

Combine like terms:

9x + 5x + 11x + 3 - 2 - 21 = 180

25x -20 = 180

Add 20 to both sides:

25x = 200

Divide both sides by 25:

x = 8°
