Question

Let (3x+24) represent the measure of an obtuse angle. What are the possible values of x?

Answer 1

180>3x+24>90 
 -24              -24
156>3x>66 
/3      /3    /3
52>x>22 
possible values of x are any number greater than 22, but less than 52 

Answer 2

Answer:

  22 < x < 52

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse angle has a measure between 90 and 180 degrees. This means ...

  90 < 3x+24 < 180

  30 < x+8 < 60 . . . . . . divide by 3

  22 < x < 52 . . . . . . . . subtract 8
