\\ \rm\bull\rightarrowtail 14x+40=180


\\ \rm\bull\rightarrowtail 14x=140

Solution:

Note that:

  • Sum of interior angles = 180°
  • (5x + 7) + (4x + 16) + (5x + 17) = 180

Simplify the equation to find x.

  • (5x + 7) + (4x + 16) + (5x + 17) = 180
  • => (14x + 40) = 180
  • => 14x = 140
  • => x = 10
