To find the measurement of the smallest angle of the triangle, we need to first find the value of x.

Since the sum of the three angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, we can set up an equation:

96° + 2x + x + 12° = 180°

Combine like terms:

109° + 3x = 180°

Subtract 109° from both sides:

3x = 71°

Divide by 3:

x = 23.67°

Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it into one of the angle measures to find the smallest angle.

The angles of the triangle are:

96°, 2(23.67°), 23.67° + 12°

96°, 47.34°, 35.67°

The smallest angle is 35.67°.
