Answer:

ok, so, since the angles in a traingle all sum up to 180°, that would make:

36°+61°+(4x-17)°=180°

We simplify it:

95°+(4x-17)°=180°

Then, we subtract 95° on both sides:

95°+(4x-17)°=180°

-95° -95°

Then we get:

4x-17°=85

We add 17° on both sides

4x-17°=85

+17° +17°

And we get:

4x=102°

Divide 4 on both sides...

4x=102°

➗4 ➗4

Therefor:

X=25.5

Hope this helps, but tell me if i'm wrong, and have a good day!
