Can someone explain how to do this? I keep getting it wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the measurements of all the angles you must find x and to find x you have to realize that the total sum of a triangle inner angles is 180 so you add all those together (48+x+x-44=180) and then if you solve that it gives you 2x+4=180 and then simplify 2x=176 and then x=88

then you plug x into the angles in order to find out the actual measurements

so a is obviously 48 but then b is equal to x which isequal to 88

and then for c it will be x-44 so its 88-44 which equals 44 and that is your answer

if you want to double check take all of your answers and see if they add up to 180

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
