The value of x is 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles in a triangles is 180°
From the question:
In ΔVWX,
m∠V=(4x+3) ∘
m∠W=(x+7) ∘
m∠X=(5x+0) ∘ .
Hence:
m∠V + m∠W + m∠V = 180°
4x + 3 + x + 7 + 5x + 0 = 180°
Collect like terms
4x + x + 5x + 3 + 7 + 0 = 180°
10x + 10 = 180°
Subtract 10 from both sides
10x + 10 - 10 = 180° - 10
10x = 170
Divide both sides by 10
10x/10 = 170/10
x = 17
The value of x is 17
