Answer:

Scalene triangle, right triangle.

Explanation:

To find out what type of triangle this is, we have to find x, so we set up an equation:

The sum of interior angles in a triangle add up to 180°

(2x + 15°) + (4x - 10°) + (x) = 180°

Open paranthesis:

2x + 15° + 4x - 10° + x = 180°

Combine like terms:

7x + 5° = 180°

Same to both sides

7x = 175°

x = 25°

We plug in x for each of the values:

2(25°) + 15° = 65°

4(25°) - 10° = 90°

25° = 25°

Because none of the angles are equal, that makes this triangle a scalene triangle, and since one of the angles is a 90° angle, that makes this triangle a right triangle

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any questions.
