Answer:
SHORT ANSWER IS B.
Angles in a triangle add up to equal 180 degrees
Hence, 40x - 27 + 25 - 2x + 26 + x = 180
( Note that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for x)
We now solve for x using the equation we created
40x - 27 + 25 - 2x + 26 + x = 180
Combine like terms
39x + 24 = 180
Subtract 24 from both sides
39x = 156
Divide both sides by 39
