Answer:

t=40

Explanation:

The sum of all angles in a triangle will always equal 180°. This means that:

(2t-42)+(4t-49)+(2t-49) = 180°

Let's solve this equation!

(2t-42)+(4t-49)+(2t-49) = 180

First we simplify what's on the left side:

2t-42+4t-49+2t-49 = 180

2t+4t+2t-42-49-49 = 180

8t-140 = 180

*Add 140 to both sides

8t = 180+140

8t = 320

Divide both sides by 8 to know what t means:

t = 320/8

t = 40
