The total amount that all the angles inside the triangle equal is 180°. So you can write an equation with the given 3x+5 + 2x+18 + 2x+17 = 180 Combine all like terms 7x + 40 = 180 subtract 40 from both sides 7x = 140 divide both sides by 7 x = 20
Then you plug that into the angles and find out how much each is
