60

Explanation:

Solve for x:
(71+x) + (x+81) + 50 = 180 (angles in a triangle add up to 180)
2x + 202 = 180
2x = 180 -202
2x = -22
x = -11
Angle A = 71 + (-11)
Angle A = 60

Set the sum of the angles equal to #180^@#
Solve for the value x.
Use the value of x solve for the value of A.

Explanation:

Set the sum of the angles equal to #180^@#

#50^@ + 71^@+x + x + 81^@ = 180^@#

Solve for the value x

#2x + 202^@ = 180^@#

#2x = -22^@#

#x = -11^@#

Use the value of x solve for the value of A.

#A = 71^@+x#

#A = 71^@-11^@#

#A = 60^@#
