Algebra.Com's Answer #84701 by princess08(3)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be the second angle. \n" ); document.write( "Let 12+(x/2) be the first angle. \n" ); document.write( "Let (4*x)-19 be the third angle. \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 so, \n" ); document.write( "[12+(x/2)]+x+[(4*x)-19]=180. \n" ); document.write( "12+(x/2)+x+4x-19=180 \n" ); document.write( "(x/2)+5x=187 \n" ); document.write( "(x/2)+(10x/2)=187 \n" ); document.write( "11x=187*2 \n" ); document.write( "11x=374 \n" ); document.write( "x=34. \n" ); document.write( "12+(x/2)=29. \n" ); document.write( "(4*x)-19=117. \n" ); document.write( "Thus, the angles are 29, 34, and 117. \n" ); document.write( " |
