The classification of the triangle is scalene, the value of x is 7 and the measures of the angles are 106, 47 and 27

How to classify the triangle, calculate x and the measures of the angles

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The triangle

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

So, we have

15x + 1 + 6x + 5 + 4x - 1 = 180

Evaluate the like terms

This gives

25x = 175

So, we have

x = 7

This means that

15x + 1 = 15 * 7 + 1 = 106

6x + 5 = 6 * 7 + 5 = 47

4x - 1 = 4 * 7 - 1 = 27

Hence, the triangle is a scalene triangle
