The Three angles of a triangle have measures 7x+6,10x-8 and 5x+3.What is the measure of the smallest angle?

Answer:
43 15/22 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The three angles add to 180 degrees
7x+6 +10x-8 + 5x+3 = 180
Combine like terms
22x +1 = 180
Subtract 1 from each side
22x +1-1 =180-1
22x = 179
Divide each side by 22
22x/22 = 179 /22
x =179/22
The smallest angle is
5x+3
5(179/22) +3
895/22 +3
40 15/22 +3
43 15/22 degrees
