PLEASE HELP
What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 50

Explanation:

Since the two angles are opposite each other, you know that they are equal.

Set both equations equal to each other to isolate x:

2(x + 10) = 3x - 30

Distribute 2 on the left side

2x + 20 = 3x - 30

Subtract 2x from both sides

20 = x - 30

Add 30 to both sides

50 = x

Answer 2

Answer: x = 50

Explanation:

The two angles are opposite each other, meaning that they are equivalent.

So, we can set them equal to each other and then solve for x.

2(x + 10) = 3x - 30

2x + 20 = 3x -30

x = 50
