Math Problem Statement
Doug needs to build an outside canopy for his daughter's playground. The angles in a diagram are listed as 2x, 3x, and 4x. What is the value of x?
Solution
This problem involves finding the value of where the angles are given as , , and . Since these are angles of a triangle, the sum of the angles must equal .
Let's set up the equation:
