Q. In △CDE,m∠C=(8x+19)∘,m∠D=(2x+7)∘, and m∠E=(4x−14)∘. What is the value of x ?Answer:
Write Triangle Angle Equation: The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. We can write this as an equation using the given angle measures:m/_C+m/_D+m/_E=180∘(8x+19)∘+(2x+7)∘+(4x−14)∘=180∘
Simplify Equation: Combine like terms to simplify the equation:8x+2x+4x+19+7−14=18014x+12=180
Isolate x Term: Subtract 12 from both sides to isolate the term with x: 14x+12−12=180−1214x=168
Solve for x: Divide both sides by 14 to solve for x:1414x=14168x=12
