Question

PLSSSS HELPPPPP MEEE !!!!!

Answer 1

All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

40 + x + (5x + 14) = 180

54 + 6x = 180

6x = 126

x = 21 degrees

Answer 2

x=21

Explanation:

a triangle adds up to 180 degree so to find x we will use the formula

(5x+14)+x+40=180

subtract 40 from each side so we have

(5x+14)+x=140

we have 2 terms with the same factor (x) so combine like terms

6x+14=140

subtract 14 from both sides

6x=126

divide both sides by 6

x=21

check your answer

5(21)+14

105+14=119

119+ 21+40=180

so x is equal to 21
