Answer:

60 degrees

Explanation:

All angles of a triangle will add up to equal 180 degrees.

Set up an equation to solve for x:

9x - 3 + 50 + 9x + 7 = 180

Combine like terms

18x + 47 + 7 = 180

18x + 54 = 180

Subtract 54 from both sides

18x = 126

Divide both sides by 18

x = 7

Now plug in 7 for x in the expression for angle A:

9(7) - 3

63 - 3

60

Check work:

60 + 50 + 9(7) + 7 = 180

110 + 63 + 7 = 180

173 + 7 = 180

180 = 180

Correct
