Are you sure the question is not: Find the value of x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ranga yea! it says find the value of <ABC
OpenStudy (ranga):
Okay, I presume by that they mean they want to know all three angles of the triangle.
First find x. Use the fact that the sum of all three angles of a triangle= 180.
Write the equation and solve for x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ranga I got x = -2?

The sum of the three angles is: (4x + 7) + (11x - 9) + 32 = 180
Simplify the left and solve for x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ranga x = 10?
OpenStudy (ranga):
Yes. Put x = 10 and find the two angles.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ranga okay i got 47 and 101
OpenStudy (ranga):
Yes.

@ranga but the choices for the answer is
A. 10
B. 47
C.40
D.101
so I'm confused which one it is?
OpenStudy (ranga):
Oh, they are asking for angle ABC. That is the 11x - 9. 110 - 9 = 101.
They are just interested in that one angle.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ranga so the value is 101 right?
OpenStudy (ranga):
yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ranga thank you! :)
