Answer:

x = 20.

Angles 2 and 3 are measured as 50 degrees.

Explanation:

Angles 2 and 3 are congruent, meaning that they are equal.

Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.

3x-10=x+30 (subtract x from the left side and add 10 to the right. This gets the x's and the plain numbers on the same side of the equation)

2x=40 (Divide by 2)

x = 20

Check your work by plugging in 20 for x in each expression. If the two expressions are equal when you do so, then you know you've worked out the problem correctly.

Angle 2:

3(20)-10

60 - 10 = 50

Angle 3:

20 + 30 = 50

Both expressions equal 50 when plugging in 20 for x, so this is the correct answer.

Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

If A || B, then ∠2 should equal to ∠3 (Alternate angles).

3x - 10 = x + 30

Isolate like terms.

3x - x = 30 + 10

Evaluate like terms.

2x = 40

Find x.

x = 40 ÷ 2

x = 20
