Answer:

X= 16

Explanation:

right angle = 90°

And we have 33° already

90 + 33 = 123

Triangle is 180

180 - 123 = 57

Write in an equation

57 = 3x + 9

57- 9 = 48

48= 3x

48/ 3 = 16

X= 16

Answer:

16

Explanation:

Because this is a right triangle the two angles besides the right angle add up to 90°

33 + 3x + 9 = 90

Combine like terms

42 + 3x = 90

Isolate the x ( subtract 42 from both sides)

3x = 48

Divide both sides by 3

x = 16
