OpenStudy (gk99):

Ok so.. How many degrees is in a circle ? ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360:)

OpenStudy (gk99):

yes! we're finding x so we need to know that. But since x only involves half the circle, how many degrees is in half ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180

OpenStudy (gk99):

right. so (6x + 5) degrees + (5x + 3) degrees + (8x + 1) degrees = 180 degrees

OpenStudy (gk99):

get it? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (gk99):

Now all u gotta do is solve for x and you're done (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):
