The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x. (6x+20)
105
(7-10)

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle adds up to 180 degrees

so 105 + (6x+20) + (7x-10) = 180

simplify

115+13x=180

subtract 115 to each side

13x=65

divide by 13

x=5

check work

105 + (6(5) + 20) + (7(5) -10)

105 + (30 +20) +(35 - 10)

105 + 50 + 25 = 180

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
