All the angles in a triangle equal 180 degrees.

So, 2x, 3x-11, and 2x+9= 180

2x+3x-11+2x+9=180

Combine like terms.

7x-2=180

Add two to both sides.

7x=182

Divide by 7 into both sides.

x=26

Now, plug in x.

2x
2(26)= 52

3x-11
3(26)-11
78-11= 67

2x+9
2(26)+9
52+9= 61

2x is the smallest angle. 52<61

I hope this helps!
