Answer:


\boxed{\sf x=20^o}

Explanation:

The two angles are complementary, which means they add up to 90°.


\boxed{\sf x^o+(3x+10^o)=90^o}

Solving for x:-


\sf x^o+3x+10^o=90^o


\sf 4x+10=90


\sf 4x=80


\sf \cfrac{4x}{4} =\cfrac{80}{4}


\boxed{\sf x=20^o} ← Answer

___

Answer:

X = 20

Explanation:

collect like terms

4x + 10

we know a right angle is 90°

4x + 10 = 90

subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 80

divide both sides by 4 for x

x = 20
