Answer: x = 61

=============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle x and the 29 degree angle combine to form a 90 degree angle. This is because the square maker on the left has that angle at 90 degrees, and all of the angles combine to form 180. So 180-90 = 90 is the left over amount.

Add up x and 29 to get 90

x+29 = 90

Solve for x by subtracting 29 from both sides

x+29-29 = 90-29

x+0 = 61

x = 61

--------------

An alternative is to solve the equation below for x

x+29+90 = 180 ... see note below

x+119 = 180

x+119-119 = 180-119 ... subtract 119 from both sides

x = 61

we get the same answer

note: this equation turns into x+29 = 90 if you subtracted 90 from both sides
