Answer:
∠YXZ = 62°
Step-by-step explanation:
A straight line measures 180 degrees
The angle "8x - 14" PLUS its adjacent angle Z sum up to 180, so we can write:
Z + 8x - 14 = 180
Z = 180 +14 - 8x
Z = 194 - 8x
Sum of 3 angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, thus we can write:
X + Y + Z = 180
3x + 5 + 4x + 194 - 8x = 180
Now, we solve for x:
The measure of ∠YXZ is "3x + 5", we substitute the value of x and find this angle to be:
3x + 5
3(19) + 5
62
Thus,
∠YXZ = 62°

3 times the square root of 7
====================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming the V stands for square root. You can write sqrt(63).
The idea is to factor 63 in such a way that one factor is the largest perfect square possible, that way we can pull the root apart to simplify as shown above. The rule I used for the second step is
let's say that sin(θ) = x, then the cos(θ) which is twice the sine has to be 2x, therefore then
