In triangle EFG, m

Question

In triangle EFG, m<E=3x-24,m<f=7x-30, and m<G=4x+10. List the sides in order from longest to shortest

raden · Answer

hint : the sum of interior angles a triangle = 180 degrees

anonymous · Answer

I don't think that helps me with this question.

raden · Answer

it means : m<E + m<f + m<G = 180 or 
3x - 24 + 7x - 30 + 4x + 10 = 180
solve for x

raden · Answer

got it ?

anonymous · Answer

I still don't know the answer to the question though :(

raden · Answer

well, i will help u to get x
3x - 24 + 7x - 30 + 4x + 10 = 180
14x - 44 = 180
14x = 180+44
14x = 224
x = 224/14 = 16

raden · Answer

now, u just put x=16 to the measures of M, F, and G
what's the measure of them respectively

raden · Answer

after that, just compare that : "the biggest of the measure of them is the longest side"

Is the answer GE, EF, GF?

raden · Answer

let's check it ...
E=3x-24=3(16)-24=48-24=24
F=7x-30=7(16)-30=112-30=82
G=4x+10=4(16)+10=64+10=74
