Answer:
x = 40 and x = 35
Explanation:
Assuming you want to solve for x
7
5x - 50 and 4x - 10 are vertically opposite angles and are congruent (equal) , then
5x - 50 = 4x - 10 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
x - 50 = - 10 ( add 50 to both sides )
x = 40
8
x + 30 and 3x + 10 lie on a straight line and form a linear pair which sums to 180°
sum the 2 angles, equate to 180 and solve for x
x + 30 + 3x + 10 = 180 ( collect like terms on left side )
4x + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )
4x = 140 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 35
