Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sum of all angles of triangle = 180

17x + 10x -5 + 50 = 180

Combine like terms

27x + 45 = 180

To find the valu of x, we have to isolate x. To isloate x

Step 1: Subtract 45 from both sides

27x = 180 - 45

27x = 135

Step 2: Divide both sides by 27

x = 135/27

x = 5
