A triangle has angles measures of x, x + 14°

, and 82°
. Find the value of x.

1 answer

To find the value of x, we need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°.

So, we can set up the equation as follows:

x + (x + 14) + 82 = 180

Simplifying the equation:

2x + 14 + 82 = 180

2x + 96 = 180

Subtracting 96 from both sides:

2x = 84

Dividing by 2:

x = 42

Therefore, the value of x is 42°.
