Answer:

R=50 degrees

Explanation:

All of the angle measures together are 180 degrees. You need to make an equation in order to solve this problem:

180= (3x+5) + (11x-1) + (5x+5)

You then combine like terms:

180= (3x+11x+5x) + (5-1+5)

180= 19x+9

Then, subtract 9 from 180:

171= 19x

Then, divide 171 by 19:

9= x

Finally, you plug the value of x into the equation representing angle R:

5 x 9 + 5

45 + 5

50
