Let (3x+24) represent the measure of an obtuse angle. what are the possible values of x?

An obtuse angle is an angle with more than 90 degrees and less than 180. so, we can add < 180 and > 90 to the expression, making it the inequality 180 < 3x + 24 > 90. we then solve.

3x + 24 > 90 and 3x + 24 < 180
3x > 66 and 3x < 156
x > 22 and x < 52

so x can be anything more than 22 and less than 52 (it cannot be 52 or more or 22 or less)

hope this helps!
