In a triangle, the sum of all three angles is 180°. So we can set up the equation:
61° + (6x+10)° + 43° = 180°
Combine like terms:
104° + 6x = 180°
Subtract 104° from both sides:
6x = 76°
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 76°/6
Simplify:
x = 12.67°
The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.

thats wrong bot
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly:
The equation is (6x+10) + 61 + 43 = 180.
Combine like terms:
6x + 10 + 61 + 43 = 180
6x + 114 = 180
Subtract 114 from both sides:
6x + 114 - 114 = 180 - 114
6x = 66
Divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 66/6
x = 11
Therefore, the value of x is indeed 11.
The equation is (6x+10) + 61 + 43 = 180.
Combine like terms:
6x + 10 + 61 + 43 = 180
6x + 114 = 180
Subtract 114 from both sides:
6x + 114 - 114 = 180 - 114
6x = 66
Divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 66/6
x = 11
Therefore, the value of x is indeed 11.
