Question

MVUT =175, mVUJ=17x-3, and mJUT=17x+8. Find x

Answer 1

The diagram of the three angles is shown below with point U as the point where all three lines meet.

Angles property: Angles around a point add up to 360°

We set up an equation

$175+17x-3+17x+8=360$
$180+34x=360$
$34x=360-180$
$34x=180$
$x= \frac{180}{34}= \frac{90}{17}$
