Answer 1

35 degrees
47 degrees
51 degrees
62 degrees

Answer 2

@welshfella

Answer 3

what does a straight line add up to (in degrees) ?

Answer 4

Angles on one side of a straight line will always add to 180 degrees. @phi

Answer 5

it is 180 but what do you mean by one side lol

Answer 6

there is no such thing at all
it is like you are saying the other add up to a different value or something

Answer 7

ok , with that info you can find y
and once you find y you can find x (3 angles of a triangle add up to 180)

Answer 8

so the first step is to find y
57+61+ y = 180

add up 57 and 61

Answer 9

118 when i add that up @phi

Answer 10

ok
so
118 + y= 180

to find y you could test numbers y=1, 2 , 3, ... but that will take forever.
add -180 to both sides
118-118 + y = 180 -118
and simplify both sides. can you do that ?

Answer 11

**add -118 to both sides (not 180)

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

thank u!

Answer 14

what did you get for y ?

Answer 15

hold on. i will tag u when i get it

Answer 16

is it 62 degrees? @phi

Answer 17

yes, y is 62

but remember the question wants "x"

however the 3 angles of the triangle add up to 180
so you have more work to do
x+ y+67= 180
and y is 62 so
x+62+67= 180
