Question

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.

(2x+17)°
(2x+5)°

Answer 1

Explanation:

or, x°+(2x+17)°(2x+5)°=180°

or, x°+2x°+17°+2x°+5°=180°

or, 5x°+22°=180°

or, 5x°=180°-22°

or, 5x°=158°

or, x°=158/5

or, x°=31.6

now,

(2x+17)°=2*31.6+17=80.2°

(2x+5)°=2*31.6+5=68.2°
