Question

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

44°
61°
(8x+11)°

Answer 1

x=8

Explanation!!
- The measures of the angles of a triangle always equal 180 degrees.

So, we know: 44 + 61 + (8x+11) = 180!!

Now, just solve for x.

180 — 61 — 44 — 11 = 116

8x = 116

116/8 = 8

x=8
