Answer 2

A negative number is not allowed for angle measures. Negative angles make no sense

Answer 3

hint: for any triangle, the angles must add to 180 degrees

Answer 4

I figured... so does x=5?

Answer 5

how did you get x = 5?

Answer 6

@Gokuporter what equation did you solve to get that value?

Answer 7

here is another hint if jim's did not work for you

say you have a triangle with degree measures A, B, and C
then A+B+C=180

Answer 8

its the same thing just written differently :p

Answer 9

(3x+25)=(x-5)

Answer 10

Yeah I know what jim is talking about

Answer 11

then that is where you are going wrong

Answer 12

you aren't adding up your angle measures and setting equal to 180
and solving for x

Answer 13

you should be solving (x-5)+(x)+(3x+25)=180

Answer 14

Oh okay I will try that

Answer 15

x=32

Answer 16

awesome

Answer 17

That answer was wrong the correct answer is 121

Answer 18

@Gokuporter you should have plugged x = 32 back in for angle G

angle G = 3x + 25
angle G = 3*32+25
angle G = 96+25
angle G = 121 degrees
