Question

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.

(6x+20)
105
(7-10)

Answer 1

x=5

Explanation:

Angles in a triangle adds up to 180 degrees

so 105 + (6x+20) + (7x-10) = 180

simplify

115+13x=180

subtract 115 to each side

13x=65

divide by 13

x=5

check work

105 + (6(5) + 20) + (7(5) -10)

105 + (30 +20) +(35 - 10)

105 + 50 + 25 = 180
