Answer:

a + b = 50

a = 2b - 43

2b - 43 + b = 50

+43 +43

3b = 93

b = 31

(31 x 2) - 43 = 19

a = 19 b = 31

31 + 19 = 50

Find the measure of each missing angle , and state the angle relationship I used

Delvig [45]

(4x+28)+(x+19)+(3x+13)=180
8x+60=180( combine like terms)
8x+60-60= 180-60
8x=120
8/8x=120/8
x=15
The missing angles are 88°, 34° and 58°
