Question

Solve for x. Answer as an integer or simplified fraction. Please include steps. Thanks!

Answer 1

x=40 degrees

Explanation:

According to the angle sum theorem, the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees:

So, we can use the following equation to find x:

x+(x+10)+(210-3x)=180

now add like terms:

x+x+(-3x)+10+210=180

-x+220=180

now isolate the variable:

-x=180-220

-x=-40

x=-40/-1

x=40/1

x=40

The answer is that: the measure of x is 40 degrees
