Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

Based on the triangle sum theorem, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Given the following, right angle (90°), 60°, and (7x - 12)° as interior angles of the triangle, therefore:

7x - 12 + 90 + 60 = 180

Add like terms

7x + 138 = 180

7x + 138 - 138 = 180 - 138 (subtraction property of equality)

7x = 42

7x/7 = 42/7 (division property of equality)

x = 6
