Hmm

let's try some numbers

we have 3 scenarios
x>y
x=y
x<y

x>y
x=-1 and y=-2
x-y=-1-(-2)=-1+2=1
it's positive when x>y

x=y
x=-1, y=-1
-1-(-1)=-1+1=0
nope

x<y
x=-2 and y=-1
-2-(-1)=-2+1=-1
nope


x-y is positive when 0>x>y

vodomira [7]

Answer:

30°, 45°, and 105°

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of x

2x + 3x+ 7x = 180

12x = 180

x = 180/12

x=15

Get the value of the angles

2x = 2(15)

3x= 3(15)

7x= 7(15)

The measure of the angles are 30°, 45°, and 105° respectively.
