In triangle EFG with right angle <G, suppose that m<E=(2x+14)degrees and m<F=3x+31)degrees. Find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle I already know that <G is 90 degrees. I tried to make 2x+14 equal to 3x+31.. but it didnt work. what am i doing wrong?

In triangle EFG with right angle 12 years ago

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

with any triangle, the 3 angles ALWAYS add to 180 degrees so that means (angle E) + (angle F) + (angle G) = 180 (2x+14) + (3x + 31) + (90) = 180 2x+14 + 3x + 31 + 90 = 180 5x+135 = 180 I'll let you finish up
