Answer:

255) 36°

257) 30°

Explanation:

The sum of the angle measures in a triangle is 180°.

__

255)

(x +43) +(x +77) +74 = 180

2x = -14 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 194

x = -7

∠A = -7 +43 = 36°

__

257)

5x +(3x +2) +130 = 180

8x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 132

x = 6

∠A = 5·6 = 30°
