Answer:

m∠T = 45°

Explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so ...

(2x +10)° +(3x -9)° +(6x -19)° = 180°

11x -18 = 180 . . . . . collect terms, divide by °

11x = 198 . . . . . . . . add 18

x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 11

Then the angle of interest is ...

m∠T = (3x -9)° = (3·18 -9)°

m∠T = 45°

_____

The other angles are ...

m∠S = 46°

m∠U = 89°
