.
Angle F+Angle G+Angle H=180
(4x+7)+(5x-31)+(7x-52)=180
16x-76=180
16x=256
x=16
.
Angle F=4x+7=4(16)+7=64=7=71
.
Angle G=5x-31=5(16)-31=80-31=49
.
Angle H=7x-52=7(16)-52=112-52=60
.
ANSWER: G < H < F

Since the angles of a triangle always add to 180, we can write
(4x+7) + (5x-31) + (7x-52) = 180 which gives us
16x - 76 = 180
16x = 256
x = 16
Then our angles, f, g, and h become
71, 49, and 60 degrees respectively.
Least to greatest would then be
g, h, f
