@jim_thompson5910 do you subtract 40 and 90?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add up all angles, set them equal to 180 x+40+90+3x = 180 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like, oh wait! do you subtract 90 from 180 first?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes you can do it that way if you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so from that I got 90

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you now have x+40+3x = 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you subtract 90 from 40? :) I got 50

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you now have x+3x = 50

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x+3x turns into 4x, so you then would get 4x = 50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you divide 3x and 50?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*4x ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if 4x = 50 then x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.5!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you got it
