Answer:

x=20

Explanation:

The two angles are complementary angles. Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

x + 3x+10 = 90

Combine like terms

4x+10 = 90

Subtract 10 from each side

4x+10-10 = 90-10

4x= 80

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 80/4

x = 20

Answer:

20

Explanation:

The two given and marked angles add up to 90.

A = x

B = 3x + 10

A + B = 90 Substitute for A and B. A and B are just letters I gave things.

x + 3x + 10 = 90 Combine the left

4x + 10 = 90 Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x +10-10 = 90-10 Combine

4x = 80 Divide by 4

4x/4=80/4

x = 20
