Can someone please help me with this question?

Solve for X:
(You’re working with degrees)

Answers:
x = 35
x = 5
x = 17
x = 7

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

sum the 3 angles, equate to 180 and solve for x

5x + 2 + 2x + 53 + 90 = 180 ( simplify left side )

7x + 145 = 180 ( subtract 145 from both sides )

7x = 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 5
