Answer 1

(A) 3(x +5) +(5x +15) +7x = 180

(B) x = 10

(C) A = 45°, B = 65°, C = 70°

Explanation:

A)

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

m∠A +m∠B +m∠C = 180°

3(x +5) +(5x +15) +7x = 180 . . . . . substitute given expressions

__

B)

15x +30 = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

15x = 150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15

__

C)

The angle measures are found from the given expressions:

m∠A = 3(x +5) = 3(10 +5) = 45

m∠B = 5x +15 = 5(10) +15 = 65

m∠C = 7x = 7(10) = 70

m∠A = 45°, m∠B = 65°, m∠C = 70°
