Question

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

36°
(6x+3)°
87°

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. So, we can set up an equation and solve for x:

36 + (6x+3) + 87 = 180

Combine like terms:

126 + 6x = 180

Subtract 126 from both sides:

6x = 54

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 9

Therefore, the value of x is 9.
