I’m assuming you man degrees? Are these angles of a triangle?

This doesn’t really make sense because the angles in a triangle add up to 180° so your equation would be x+50+x+80+72=180

Combine like terms to get
2x+202=180

Then subtract 202 from both sides
2x=-22

So x would be -11 which doesn’t seem right lol

Answer:

∠A = 39°

∠B = 69°

Explanation:

We assume these are angles in a triangle, so their sum is 180°.

A + B + C = 180

(x+50) +(x +80) +72 = 180

2x +202 = 180

2x = -22

x = -11

Then the angle measures are ...

A = -11 +50 = 39

B = -11 +80 = 69

Angles A and B are 39° and 69°, respectively.
