To find the value of x, you need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
So, you can set up the equation:
3x + 48 + x = 180
Combine like terms:
4x + 48 = 180
Subtract 48 from both sides:
4x = 132
Divide by 4:
x = 33
Therefore, x = 33.
The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x. (3x)° 48°
