The angles with measurements equal to 3x+3 and 2x+22 should add up to 180°. This is because the angle which measures 2x+22 and the angle that is adjacent to the angle measuring 3x+3 are supposed to be congruent. If we mathematically translate the concept above, this can be expressed as,
3x + 3 + 2x + 22 = 180
Combining like terms,
(3x + 2x) + (3 + 22) = 180
Simplifying,
5x + 25 = 180
Transpose the constants to only one side of the equation,
5x = 155
Divide the equation by 5.
x = 31
ANSWER: x = 31
