Question

What’s the answer to

Answer 1

Hint: the sum of the angles is equal to 180 in a triangle. could you make an equation to use that?

3x+13, 7x+2, and 75 are the three angle values. They will sum up to 180.

Steps:

We set the equation to:

3x+13+7x+2+75=180

We can combine some terms

10x+90=180

Then, we isolate x

10x=90

And we divide by 10

x=9

Great! but we are not done yet. We want the measure of angle A, so we need to plug x back into the equation for angle a

3(9)+13

Multiply

27+13

Add
