Answer:

x= 10

Explanation:

We can use the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°.

5x +7x +60 = 180

Solve for x, because we have 1 equation with 1 unknown

5x +7x +60 = 180, combine like terms

12x + 60 = 180. subtract 60 from both sides of the equation

12x + 60 -60 = 180 -60, combine like terms

12x = 120, divide both sides by 12

x = 10
