Hi there!
We are given a question that asks us to translate some given information into numerical format, or numbers. We can do that by first finding key words. Such words are sum and at least. Sum indicates addition, while at least indicates a greater than or equal to sign, or ≥. Now that we have found our key info, we can move on.
The question states that 3 times the sum of a number and 17. The 'sum of a number and 17' part can be represented by the expression x + 17, where x is some number. Next, three times means that we need to multiply 3 to the expression x + 17, giving us 3(x + 17). Finally, the question gives us that the whole expression 3(x + 17) is 'at least', or greater than or equal to, 22. Hence, we get the inequality 3(x + 17) ≥ 22, which is also our answer. Hope this has come of assistance to you and have a great day!

How do I find the largest angle of the triangle ??

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: 89

43 + x = 132 => Exterior Angle Theorem
^
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either of the measures of the remote interior angles. That means the two remote interior angle add up to the exterior angle.

x = 89

**To find the last angle: 89 + 43 + x = 180 => Triangle Sum Theorem states that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180. The last angle would be 48.**

-13>-5x+2>-28 subtract 2 from all expressions

-15>-5x>-30 divide each expression by -5

Be sure to reverse direction of signs when you divide/multiply by a negative value!

3<x<6

So the "graph" will be a infinitely high plane, or area, contained between the two vertical lines x=3 and x=6
