Answer:
x= 8.5, 2x=17, (9x+5)=81.5
Step-by-step explanation:
since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, you must add all of the angles and set them equal 180:
[tex]2x + 2(9x+5) = 180[/tex]
next distribute the 2 to 9x + 5.
[tex]2x + 18x + 10 = 180[/tex]
next combine like terms (2x and 18x) and subtract 10 from 180.
[tex]20x = 170[/tex]
finally, divide 170 by twenty.
[tex]\frac{20x = 170}{20}\\,x=8.5[/tex]
the final answer is x=8.5
once x is determined, you can solve 2x and 9x+5.
[tex]2(8.5)=17\\\\9(8.5) +5 =81.5[/tex]
