X^2 = x + 72 you have a quadratic.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)*(x + 8) = 0
x = 9 or x = - 8

We have to check this one. One of the answers could be wrong.
9^2 = 9 + 72
81 = 81 This one checks out and is OK.

(-8)^2 = -8 + 72
64 = - 8 + 72 
64 = 64.
Both answers work.

Interior and Exterior Triangle Angles<br><br> plz help
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

∠ N = 41°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 given angles and equate to 180, that is

6x + 1 + 3x - 10 + x + 19 = 180, simplifying

10x + 10 = 180 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

10x = 170 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 17

Thus

∠ N = 3x - 10 = 3(17) - 10 = 51 - 10 = 41°
