Question

Find the value of x
A)30
B)60
C)90
D)120

Answer 1

The value of x is 30

2×30=60°
90-30=60°
90+30=120°

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (A) 30.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of x from the figure shown with two intersecting lines.

As noted from the figure, since the measures of two vertically opposite angles are equal, so

`2x^\circ=(y-x)^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=y-x\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+x=y\\\\\Rightarrow y=3x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

And, from the measure of a straight angle, we can write

`2x^\circ+(y+x)^\circ=180^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+(y+x)=180\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+y=180\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+3x=180~~~~~~~~~~~~\textup{[putting the value of y from equation (i)]}\\\\\Rightarrow 6x=180\\\\\Rightarrow x=30.`

Thus, the required value of x is 30.

Option (A) is CORRECT.
