Question

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.

Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

a triangles Angel's should add up to 180 all together

So, 71+64=135

180-135= 45

now that you have found the missing angle, you need to find x.

set the equation equal to 45:

8x-11=45

now solve:

8x-11 =45

add 11 to both sides to cancel out the negative 11 and try to get x alone:

8x=56

divide 8x by 8 and 56 by 8 to get x alone:

x=7
