Math Problem Statement

What is the value of x? (Angles given are (4x - 7)°, (3x + 2)°, and 142°.)

Solution

This problem involves a triangle where the angle measures are expressed in terms of xx. Let’s solve it step by step.

Step 1: Key Triangle Property

The sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180180^\circ. Therefore: (4x7)+(3x+2)+142=180(4x - 7)^\circ + (3x + 2)^\circ + 142^\circ = 180^\circ

Step 2: Combine Like Terms

Combine all terms involving xx and constants: 4x7+3x+2+142=1804x - 7 + 3x + 2 + 142 = 180 7x+137=1807x + 137 = 180

Step 3: Solve for xx

Subtract 137137 from both sides: 7x=437x = 43 Divide by 77: x=4376.14x = \frac{43}{7} \approx 6.14

It seems that this problem's options may not match the solution as presented. Would you like me to confirm your work or clarify next steps? ### Step 1. Triangles angle propertyThis problem involves solving for the value of xx in a triangle where the angles are expressed algebraically. The key property to use is that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180180^\circ.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1: Write the equation

From the diagram: (4x7)+(3x+2)+142=180(4x - 7)^\circ + (3x + 2)^\circ + 142^\circ = 180^\circ

Step 2: Combine like terms

Combine the xx-terms and constants: 4x+3x7+2+142=1804x + 3x - 7 + 2 + 142 = 180 7x+137=1807x + 137 = 180

Step 3: Solve for xx

  1. Subtract 137137 from both sides: 7x=437x = 43
  2. Divide by 77: x=4376.14x = \frac{43}{7} \approx 6.14

Conclusion:

The value of xx calculated does not directly match the multiple-choice options provided. Could you clarify if there are additional conditions or constraints we might have missed, or if this was a typo in the options? Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
