Answer 1

Refer to the attachment.

Answer 2

@robtobey Is their any other way, i thought you added them up to 180 then solved for x?

Answer 3

The sides of a triangle are not angles, they are lengths, therefore, their sum are probably not 180 in the general case.

5x+7<(8x-4)+(4x+1)
7+5 x<-3+12 x
x > 10/7

Answer 4

Sorry, there is a grammatical error in the posting above.
