Question

[Help asap, will mark brainliest when it allows me] Find the angle measures for the following triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 53°

(x+2)° = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we know that all the three angles added up together equals 180, so we can set the value of all the angles added up together as 180:

$x+(x+2)+72= 180$

Now lets add what we can together:

$2x+74=180$

Since we want to get x by itself to find its value, lets move 74 onto the other side and isolate the x:

$2x=106$

$x = 53$

And now we have the value of x, but let's plug them in and see if they still all equal to 180:

$(53+2)+53+72=180$

$180 = 180$

Answer 2

Answer:

x=53

x+2= 53+2= 55

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2) + x + 72 = 180 (angles of triangle supplementary)

2x+ 74 = 180

2x = 180- 74

2x= 106

x= 106/2

x= 53
