Answer

\text{28}^\circ

5 steps

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$ .
We are given the three angles of the triangle as $3x$ , $2x - 20^\circ$ , and $60^\circ$ .
Set up the equation for the sum of the angles.
$3x + (2x - 20^\circ) + 60^\circ = 180^\circ$
Combine like terms.
$5x + 40^\circ = 180^\circ$
Isolate the term with $x$ .
Subtract $40^\circ$ from both sides of the equation.
$5x = 180^\circ - 40^\circ$ $5x = 140^\circ$
Solve for $x$ .
Divide both sides by 5.
$x = \frac{140^\circ}{5}$ $x = 28^\circ$
The value of $x$ is $\boxed{\text{28}^\circ}$ .
