The measures of three angles of a triangle are given by (x - 5)°, (2x)°, and (2x - 10)°. What is the value of x?

Explanation:

adding all the angles then equate it to 180

x-5+2x+2x-10=180

5x-15=180

5x=195

x=39

to check, plugin x which is 39 into the given angles.

like, 39-5=34 and 2(39)=78 and 2(39)-10= 68

and all of this must be equal to 180 because the angle in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

So, 34+78+68=180
