Answer:

x = 18

Explanation:

Since that is a right angle, we know that the total degrees of the angle is 90 degrees.

1) Based off of that, you can form the equation: 3x + 2x = 90.

2) solve the equation for x. Combine like terms: 3x + 2x = 5x.

5x = 90

3) So now, divide both sides by 5. 90 / 5 = 18

x = 18

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 18.
