Use the image to answer the question.

A triangle is shown with its angles measuring 2 x, 96 degrees, and x plus 12 degrees.

Find the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle.

To find the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle, we need to know the value of x. However, since we don't have any additional information, we cannot determine the exact measure of the smallest angle.

i thought that you were soposeed to cobinne like terms

You are correct that combining like terms is often necessary to simplify an expression or solve an equation. However, in this case, we are given the measures of the angles directly in terms of x. We cannot combine the terms or simplify further without knowing a specific value for x. So, unfortunately, we still cannot determine the exact measure of the smallest angle without additional information.

i'll ask again once i have the answer

Certainly! Feel free to ask again once you have the necessary information or if you have any other questions. I'll be here to assist you.
