We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up an equation:
m∠TUV + m∠TUL + m∠LUV = 180
Substituting the given values:
172 + (x + 16) + 11x = 180
Simplifying:
12x + 188 = 180
12x = -8
x = -2/3
Therefore, none of the answer choices provided are correct.
I see 4 letters in the angle definitions, so I don't think the 3 angles
are the angles of a triangle.
Notice the letter U shows the "vertex" of each of the angles,
so they can't refer to angles of the same triangle.
