measure of angle 1 equals 3x and measure of angle 3 equals (7x-40)...... i don't get this

Is this about a triangle or what?

its about angles

I want to help but i feel as though i don't have all the info i need. Are angle 1 and 3 perpenticular or suppose to be similar or on the inside of a triangle?

they're on the outside

On the outside of what kind of triangle? right triangle or what? If you copy and paste the picture it might help or go more in depth with details please. Is that the entire question? Help me help you hahaha

well i don't have a picture but all it says is to find the value of the vaariable and the angle measures ... they have to add up to 180

Well you only gave me two angles is the other angle assumed to be 90 degrees?

what? its NOT a triangle. they're like intersecting lines

what grade is this?

8th
