solve for x and find the measure of each angle. one angle 4x second angle 2x+5 third angle id 3(x-5)
See, the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
What is the sum of given angles in terms of x? That is calculate: 4x + (2x+5) + 3(x-5) = ?
9x -10 =180 but once put in the place of x they don't come out to 180
They do: see \[\large{9x-10 = 180}\] \[\large{\implies 9x = 190}\] \[\large{\implies x = \cfrac{190}{9}}\] No you can verify this by calculating each angle with the help of above value and calculating their sum , you would get it as 180.
yeah i did that i got 21 but once i plugged in my x variables i got 189
Let me check
First of all 190/9 is 21.111...
No I checked it , you must get 180
let me check it again
and your plugging it in the 21.11 in the equations?
