Answer 1

Wrongggg

Answer 2

The Triangle Angle Sum Theorem states that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

So, we can set up the equation: (x-30)° + (2x + 6)° + (2x+4)° = 180°

Combining like terms, we get: 5x - 20 = 180

Adding 20 to both sides, we get: 5x = 200

Dividing both sides by 5, we get: x = 40

Now we can substitute x back into the angles to find their values.

Largest angle: (2x + 6)° = (2*40 + 6)° = 86°

Therefore, the largest angle in the triangle is 86°.

Answer: C. 86°

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake.

To find the largest angle in the triangle, we can set up the inequality:

x-30 < 2x + 6 < 2x+4

By solving this inequality, we can determine the range of values for x that satisfy it.

First, let's simplify the inequality:

x - 30 < 2x + 6 < 2x + 4

Combining like terms, we get:

x - 30 < 2x + 6 < 2x + 4

Subtracting 2x from all sides, we get:

x - 2x - 30 < 6 < 2x + 4 - 2x

Simplifying further, we have:

-x - 30 < 6 < 4

Adding 30 to all sides, we get:

-x - 30 + 30 < 6 + 30 < 4 + 30

Simplifying, we have:

-x < 36 < 34

Multiplying all sides by -1 (which causes the inequality to reverse), we get:

x > -36 > -34

Therefore, the value of x must be greater than -36.

Considering the given options, the largest angle is represented by (2x + 6)°. To find the largest angle, we can substitute the smallest possible value of x, which is greater than -36, into (2x + 6)°.

Let's use x = -35:

(2x + 6)° = (2*(-35) + 6)° = (-70 + 6)° = -64°

Therefore, the largest angle in the triangle is -64°.

Answer: None of the options provided.
