Answer:

Explanation:

x + 32 + 2 vertically opposite degrees = 180 Beginning condition

x + 32 + x + 126 + 36 = 180 Combine like terms

2x + 194 = 180 Subtract 162 from both sides

2x = -14

x = -7

========

So the three angles are

36

-7 + 32 = 25

-7 + 126 = 119

Total = 180

That negative can throw you for a loop.
