Answer:

m∠A = 118°

Explanation:

Given a triangle with angle measures A = (3x+13)°, B = (x -8)°, and C = x°, you want the measure of angle A.

Angle sum

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°:

(3x +13) +(x -8) +(x) = 180

5x +5 = 180 . . . . simplify

x +1 = 36 . . . . . divide by 5

x = 35

The measure of angle A is ...

m∠A = (3·35 +13)° = (105 +13)°

m∠A = 118°

__

Additional comment

The other two angles are ...

B = 27°

C = 35°
