Answer:

x = 19°

Explanation:

Let The angle be "a"

Now according to the question,

⇒ 3 × a = (90° - a) - 14° (Then remove the brackets)

⇒ 3a = 90° - a - 14°

⇒ 3 + a = 76°

⇒ 40° = 76°

⇒ a = 76/4

Now since you got 76/4 you have to make it into simplest form so it'll be :

19/1

Your answer is : a = 19°
