Question

What is the answer to the problem

Answer 1

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

73 + 60 + 6x + 5 = 180
138 + 6x = 180
6x = 42
x = 7

Please lmk if you have questions.

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles inside a triangle is 180°. Therefore, we can create the equation (6x+5)+60+73=180.

Then we simplify:

1. combine like terms. (6x+5)+60+73=6x+5+60+73=6x+138

2. 6x+138=180, -138 to both sides of the equation. the equation becomes 6x=42.

3. /6 to both sides of the equation. we can reach the conclusion that x=7
