what is the measure of the second largest angle of a triangle the top angle is (6x-17) degrees the bottom left angle is (4x-12)degrees and the bottom right angle is (2x+5)degrees
------
Equation:
sum of the angles = 180 degrees
-----
6x-17 + 4x-12 + 2x+5 = 180
------
12x - 24 = 180
---
12x = 204
x = 17
----
6x-17 = 5*17 = 85 degrees
---
4x-12 = 68-12 = 56 degrees
------
2x+5 = 39 degrees
