The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°

This means you have to add all the angles together and set it equal to 180. Here is the formula:

50 + 2x + 3x - 10 = 180

Now you solve for x

Step 1: Combine like terms

(50 + (-10) ) + (2x + 3x) = 180

40 + 5x = 180

Step 2: Subtract 40 to both sides

(40-40) + 5x = 180 - 40

5x = 140

Step 3: Isolate x by dividing 5 to both sides


(5x)/(5)  = (140)/(5)

x = 28

Check: 50 + 2(28) + 3(28) - 10 = 180

50 + 56 + 84 - 10 = 180

180 = 180

Therefore your value of x is 28!

Hope this helped!

Answer:

D) 28

Explanation:

We know: the sum of the measures of triangle angles is 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:


2x+(3x-10)+50=180\\\\(2x+3x)+(-10+50)=180\\\\5x+40=180\qquad\text{subtract 40 from both sides}\\\\5x+40-40=180-40\\\\5x=140\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\(5x)/(5)=(140)/(5)\\\\x=28
