You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measures of the three angles of a triangle are 10x-3, 4x-20, x+3. Find the vaule of x then classify the triangle by its angles.
----------
The angles of a triangle always total 180 degs
10x-3 + 4x-20 + x+3 = 180
15x - 20 = 180
15x = 200
x = 40/3
---------------
10*(40/3) - 3 = 391/3 degs = 130.333... degs
4*(40/3) - 20 = 100/3 degs = 33.333... degs
40/3 + 3 = 49/3 degs = 16.333... degs
-----------
