Algebra.Com's Answer #335857 by cleomenius(959)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I didn't know if the first angle was 3x + 12 or 3x - 12, so I worked it out both ways.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x + 12 + 7x - 32 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "10x - 20 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "10x = 200. \n" ); document.write( "x = 20 \n" ); document.write( "(20)3 = 60 + 12 = 72 \n" ); document.write( "(20)7 = 140 - 32 = 108 \n" ); document.write( "=================================== \n" ); document.write( "3x - 12 + 7x - 32 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "10x - 44 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "10x = 224 \n" ); document.write( "x = 22.4 \n" ); document.write( "3(22.4) = 67.2 - 12 = 55.2 \n" ); document.write( "7(22.4) = 156.8 - 32 = 124.8 \n" ); document.write( "====================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cleomenius. \n" ); document.write( " |
