Solve for X please show work and or formula

The sum of angles in a triangle is always equal to  180 degrees

Add:

65 + 51 + x + 73 = 180

x + 189 = 180

x = -9      That is fine that x is "-9" because this would just mean that the angle "x+73" is just bigger than it is supposed to be.

Proof:

65 + 51 - 9 + 73 = 180

Therefore, x = -9

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Notes to remember:

A triangle's angles will always add up to 180°

As the image shows, we have two labeled angles. A 51° angle and a 65° angle.

Here's how you want to set up your equation:

180° = 51 + 65 + x + 73

(Rearrange)

180° = 51 + 65 + 73 + x

Add 51, 65, and 73

180° = 189 + x

Subtract 189 from both sides, to isolate x.

-9° = x

ALWAYS PLUG IN (the number that comes from the variable) TO CHECK YOUR WORK!

180° = 51 + 65 - 9 + 73

I hope this helped!
