Answer:

The value of x in NLM is 13.

Explanation:

We have a triangle NLM where,

angle M=(4x-4),

angle L=(3x+12); and

angle N=(6x+3).

We know that the sum of angles of a triangle = 180° so we will add these angles and put them equal to 180 to solve for x:


(4x-4) + (3x+12)+(6x+3)=180


4x+3x+6x+12+3-4=180


13x=180-11


13x=169


x=13

Therefore, the value of x in triangle NLM is equal to 13.
