Answer:

68, 68, 44

x = 68

x - 24 = 44

Explanation:

If you have a shape with three interior angles, it is a triangle. The three angles in a triangle add up to 180. Use this idea to write and solve an equation.

x + (x - 24) + 68 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 44 = 180

Subtract 44.

2x = 136

Divide by 2.

x = 68

So we can find x - 24

68 - 24 is 44.

The three angles are 68 (given), 68 (because x = 68), and 44 (because x-24)

The angles are 68, 68, and 44
