A triangle has angle measures of 75° , 41° , and (3x+19)° . Solve for x.(1 point)

1 answer

To solve for \( x \) in the triangle with angle measures of \( 75^\circ \), \( 41^\circ \), and \( (3x + 19)^\circ \), we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \).

We set up the equation:

\[ 75 + 41 + (3x + 19) = 180 \]

Now, combine the constant terms:

\[ 75 + 41 + 19 = 135 \]

So we have:

\[ 135 + 3x = 180 \]

Next, isolate \( 3x \) by subtracting \( 135 \) from both sides:

\[ 3x = 180 - 135 \]

\[ 3x = 45 \]

Now, divide both sides by \( 3 \):

\[ x = \frac{45}{3} = 15 \]

Thus, the solution for \( x \) is:

\[ \boxed{15} \]
