Answer:

  • (2x-10) +x +(x+10) = 180
  • x = 45
  • (2x-10)° = 80°
  • (x+10)° = 55°
  • x° = 45°

Explanation:

The equation is an expression of the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.

(2x -10)° +x° +(x +10)° = 180°

For the purposes of the answer box, I'd leave off the degree symbol:

(2x -10) +x +(x +10) = 180

__

This simplifies to ...

4x = 180

x = 45

Then the angles (CW from top) are ...

(2·45 -10) = 80°

(45 +10)° = 55°

(45)° = 45°
