Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

Thus,

(x + 20) + (10x) + (x + 16) = 180°

Collect like terms

x + 10x + x + 20 + 16 = 180°

12x + 36 = 180°

12x = 180 - 36

12x = 144

Divide both sides by 12

x = 144 ÷ 12

x = 12

Substitute the value of x into the question

Therefore,

x + 20 = 12 + 20

= 32°

10x = 10(12)

= 120°

x + 16 = 12 + 16

= 28°
