An outside angle is equal to the two opposite inside angles:

9x -8 = (7x-32) + (5x-27)

Simplify:

9x -8 = 12x - 59

Add 59 to both sides:

9x + 51 = 12x

Subtract 9x from both sides:

3x = 51

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 51/3

x = 17

Now you have X, solve all 3 angles:

7x-32 = 7(17) -32 = 119-32 = 87

5x-27 = 5(17) - 27 = 85-27 = 58

9x -8 = 9(17) -8 = 153-8 = 145
