Answer is x = 27

The three angles are 64, 67 and 49

Step by step

The sum of the angles of a triangle equal 180

We can add the three angles and solve

64
x + 40
2x -5

64 + x + 40 + 2x - 5 = 180
Combine like terms

3x + 99 = 180

Subtract 99 from both sides to isolate x

3x + 99 - 99 = 180 - 99

3x = 81

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x

3/3 x = 81/3

x = 27

Now we can substitute the value of x into each angle equation

x + 40
27 + 40 = 67
2x -5
(2)(27) - 5
54 - 5 = 49

The three angles are 64, 67 and 49

Add them together = 180
Problem solved!
