Question

The sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180°. Find the value of x. Then find the angle measures of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

• x = 43
• 43°, 51°, 86°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles is ...

  x° + (x +8)° + 2x° = 180°

  4x +8 = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, divide by °

  x +2 = 45 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  x = 43 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

  x +8 = 51

  2x = 86

The angles are 43°, 51°, 86°.
