Answer:

x = 21

it is a scalene triangle

Explanation:

the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 °, so 4x + 14 + 3x - 1 + x - 1 = 180 °

4x + 14 + 3x - 1 + x - 1 = 180

8x + 12 = 180

8x = 180 - 12

8x = 168

x = 168 : 8

x = 21

--------------------

angle 4x+14=

4 * 21 + 14 = 98°

angle x-1 =

21 - 1 = 20°

angle 3x-1 =

3 * 21 - 1 =

63 - 1 =

62°

------------

check

98 + 20 + 62 = 180°
