Does anyone know what the answer please!?????????

Answer 1

Answer:

-5<x<9

Step-by-step explanation:

Within a triangle, the greater an angle, the greater the length of opposite side. So, since we know that 42° gives an opposite side of 23, and (3x+15)° gives an opposite side of 21, (3x+15) must be less than 42:

3x+15<42

3x<27

x<9

We also know that the angle (3x+15)° cannot equal zero or less than zero. So find x when 3x+15=0, and note that our value for x must be greater than this:

3x+15=0

3x=-15

x=-5

so, -5<x

Put both parts together to get: -5<x<9
