Answer:

x = 35

Explanation:

Angles sum of a triangle = 180

That being said we want to create an equation to solve for x

180 = 2x - 8 + x - 7 + 90 ( there is a right angle indicated by the little square; a right angle has a measure of 90 degrees, so just in case you were wondering that's where the 90 came from )

now we solve for x

step 1 combine like terms

2x + x = 3x

90 - 7 - 8 = 75

now we have 180 = 75 + 3x

step 2 subtract 75 from each side

180 - 75 = 105

75 - 75 cancels out

Now we have 105 = 3x

step 3 divide each side by 3

105 / 3 = 35

3x/3=x

we're left with x = 35
