Hello!

The degrees around a circle is 360°

We add all the values to get what x is

8x - 10 + 6x + 10x + 10 = 360

Combine like terms

24x = 360

Divide both sides by 24

x = 15

Now we put x into the 3 equations to find what the triangle is

8(15) - 10 = 110
6(15) = 90
10(15) + 10 = 160

Since the sides are unequal the triangle is a Scalene triangle

The answers are x = 15 and it is a Scalene triangle

Hope this helps!
