------
The longest side is opposite the largest angle.
6x = 7
x = 7/6
---
So, 3x = 3(7/6) = 7/2

My question is that if I have a triangle with the angles of x, 3x, and 6x and the longest side of the triangle is 7 inches
what would the equation be to find x to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sum of interior angles of ANY triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, your equation to find x is this: x + 3x + 6x = 180 ---> 10x = 180 ---> x = {{180/10}}} = 18. Answer. x = 18 degrees. The info regarding 7 inches is not relevant to finding x. This info is excessive and is not used in the solution.
