A triangle has three angles with measurements A, B, and C such that
A = x^2 + 49, B = x + 2, and C = x + 130.
Assume all angles are measured in degrees. Find x.
---------------------
Equation:
A + B + C = 180 degrees
(x^2+49) + (x+2) + (x+130) = 180
---
x^2 + 2x + 181 = 180
---
x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0
(x+1)^2 = 0
x = -1
-----
A = x^2+49 = 50 degrees
B = x+2 = 1 degree
C = x + 130 = 129 degrees
