Answer:

X=40

Explanation:

Important proofs/rules to note: the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

Knowing this, you can set the equation up like this:

(x-10)+(2x-10)+2x=180 ---> Then, simplify it to

5x-20=180 ---> Finally solve for x

180+20=5x -->200=5x --->200/5=x---> x=40

DONE!

P.S. ~ You can also check this by plugging 40 back into x for the original equation and see if it is 180 degrees
