Answer:

See image

Explanation:

All the angles of a triangle add up to 180°

The given diagram shows all the measures: 28°, x - 4° , and 2x

So add them up, set equal to 180 and solve for x. Combine like terms and subtract 24 from both sides of the equation. Divide both sides by 3. x = 52

Answer:

See below:

Explanation:

First fill in:

180* . Every triangle has interior measurments of 180* total

Second fill in: Reason is definition of sum of triangle's interior angles

Third fill in: 2x. Everything in this equation is asking for the angles. First angle is 28, second angle is 2x, and third angle is x-4.

Fourth fill in: x=52

I found this by doing the following:

First, 180-28, so we can see how many degree we are left with.

152.

Now, make an equation:

152=2x+x-4

Simplify

152=3x-4

Add 4 to both sides to cancel out the -4.

156=3x

divide 156/3=52.

Now we know that x=52.

Although the question doesn't ask for this, you would now substitue 52 back into each of the equations to find that degree. For example, 2x=2(52), or 104*.
