Given: x is a whole number. What is the smallest possible value for x in this triangle. x+3 4x-5 x+2 can you please help me

It appears as though (x + 3), (4x - 5), and (x + 2) are angles of the triangle

If so, then: x + 3 + 4x - 5 + x + 2 = 180

6x = 180

x = 180%2F6, or highlight_green%2820%5Eo%29
