Answer 1

x=33

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is 180 degrees.

So, 3x-49+x-2+3x=180

Group the like terms and combine them:

7x-51=180

Add 51 to both sides to eliminate -51:

7x=231

Divide by 7 on both sides

x=33

Answer 2

x = 33°

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add all the angles together and on the other side of the equal sign put 180. The angles added up equals 180°

(x - 2) + (3x) + (3x - 49) = 180

Then, you add them all up the numbers with 180 and the x's together, and make sure they are on separate sides.

x - 2 + 3x + 3x - 49 = 180

x + 3x + 3x -2 -49 = 180

x + 3x + 3x = 180 + 2 + 49

Lastly, divide each side by 7.

7x = 231

x = 33°

Hope this helped :)
